It’s becoming increasingly common around weekends in France — which gets about two-thirds of its electricity from its atomic fleet

So they occasionally have to take a nuclear plant offline on a sunny and windy day, because we still don’t have the storage for solar to be an effective baseline.

Well if that’s actually the functioning case, they are investing their effort in the wrong place. They don’t need energy production, they need storage.

As far as your comment amount solar, we do have solutions that exist. Energy companies just need to actually get off their asses and work them into the grids.

Who would “they” be in that case? The people who’d like cheap energy do indeed need storage. The nuclear lobbies on the other hand need to cripple their competition, so they only need their own, already present facilities and whatever means they can get to sabotage upcoming competition and secure their primary position.

The French? Read the article or the comments I was responding to. 🫰

“The French”? The homogenous singular entity that all have one singular set of goals and no differences whatsoever? Or the Frrench people who’d like cheap energy or maybe the French electricity lobbyists? It’s not that simple.

The people who live in France who are having this issue with power, as explained in the article iin comments.

Seems you’re bored and just attempting to inflame people into discussing how my comment was in no way reductive or trying to represent people in a way they didn’t wish to be. Go touch grass.

Oh no. Now I’ve angered the humans.
