In the winter of 2022, France had to restart permanently shut down coal plants[0] and pump gas to Germany[1] for electricity because of a pipe crack that made half of their nuclear plants go into maintenance. Note that this was on top of cu

I have clarified my original comment. Regarding your comment: > Japan is in the process of restarting all of their nuclear plants. They are still "in the process" after 12 years, and their capacity is still less than half of pr

You may be lucky and have a phone that's reasonably well supported on alternative mobile linux os. postmarketOS has the most device support (but their criteria of inclusion is very low), UBPorts and Sailfish have some as well.
