> Compare them to nuclear heavy, clean France. France is heavily importing German electricity, so that does not work out. Sources are many, but here [0] is a random one from January "German Power Exports to France Surge to Highest in 30 Years" [0]: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-04/how-much-power-does-germany-export-to-france https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-04/how-much-... edit: Edited to remove snark, add source

Can you please make your substantive points without snark? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It looks like you've got an important and relevant point there but if you lead with snark, you'll probably just provoke more flamewar and make the thread more predictable. A better version of this comment would drop the first couple words and then add information to explain what you're talking about and/or how you know it.

The reactor had had all the needed upgrades and could have kept working for many years, but instead Macron decided to follow through on an old campaign promise of his universally reviled predecessor.
