  > This right here is an example of a lie of omission: over what time frame? Sorry about that. It's the average over a whole week (I looked at the weekly bulletin of a random week from last month, but they're all similar). > With what renewable? Around 62% hydro, 22% wind, and 1% solar (we're in winter right now, so we have less solar and more wind; on summer we'd have more solar and less wind). > And they're also building a new nuclear reactor at their existing plant. And that reactor is the main reason I'm very skeptical of nuclear power: it's been under construction for nearly 40 years, and it's still not near done. All the parts have already been bought and have been stored on site for a long time; just the upkeep to make sure none of these parts degrades while under storage is already a high cost.
