@bascule and they are doing this during an energy crisis in Europe.

@DrRug
We exported tons of energy to France because their nuclear reactors largely don't work at the moment. So... I think we're actually not that dumb.
@bascule

@claudius @DrRug indeed, the French nuclear outage was one of the biggest drivers of increased gas usage across the EU last year... in the middle of an energy crisis

@bascule @claudius I actually do worry a lot more about the French nuclear moving forward more than the Germans building renewables. Their EPR vaporware in Flamanville is suposedly going online next year (let's see about that) and they are planning to build new ones that are all again new designs which might be yet again new vapowares.
