LOL. Like France's grid has collapsed every year for the last 40 years. And of course California's grid is well known for its stability. Or was that brownouts, rolling blackouts and high prices? Well, one of the two. Nice chatti

The one who doesn't know how the grid works is you. Some demand is variable. But a lot (usually most) is not. So having reliable base generation is highly valuable and not having that base-load generation ramp up and down is a feat

Who is worked up? You seem to be. Why? I am just correcting misinformation and disinformation. And no, you suppose incorrectly. Intermittent renewables are a scam, because they get to privately reap benefits and socialize their costs, par

France does not have any new reactors currently under construction because until March 2023, expansion of nuclear generating capacity was forbidden by law. So even to build the one Flamanville 3 reactor, they had to shut down two older reac

Incorrect. It was always a public/nationalized company. It started 100% owned by the government. In the 2000s, around 15% were sold to pension funds, so way over 80% in the hands of the state, which by EU rules (and common sense) mak

France? France is increasing its nuclear output. And planning to build new plants. (Expanding nuclear generation was prohibited by law up until March of 2023). The added renewables help to make the nuclear plants more efficient and profit

Pure disinformation. EDF is generally highly profitable while at the same time delivering cheap, reliable power. 2023 was the one exception, due to the energy crisis and its interaction with the ARENH program that forces EDF to sell power

We are switching...but how and at what cost? We put SQL programs as strings into our other programs, often dynamically constructing them using procedure calls and then dispatching them using yet more procedure calls. If that weren't y
