The data I linked to you absolutely proves that they do, nuclear is the majority of electricity production in France even in its current production crisis state.
You are moving the goalposts in your reply, and I'm not interested in engaging any further given your dishonesty.
- justin66 4y agoThanks. As far as I can tell France understood their role in holding things together in the absence of cheap Russian energy, hence the push to get as much as possible back online by December. I assume they also understand they need a longer term solution since their reactors are pretty old. This is all orthogonal to the original topic, that it's not the EU and the EU commission who are responsible for Germany's massive failures regarding nuclear (any more than they are responsible for France's successes regarding nuclear).
- _ph_ 4y agoFirst of all: please stay polite and don't accuse people of dishonesty. Second: yes, the nuclear production is more than 50% of their electricity production. In that sense you are right. But the problem is what I wrote: it fell behind the required production capacity badly. France was no longer able to completely power its own grid for months. And the bad state of their reactors - they don't get any younger - will make this an increasingly larger challenge.
