France is on overdrive right now, exporting 2.8GW to Spain. 2.5GW to Italy, 2.5GW to Switzerland, 1.8GW to Germany, 1GW to Belgium and 2.6GW to the UK. And they're far from full capacity.

Energy enthusiast, low carbon energy enjoyer, I know programming and some graphic design. From Costa Rica, a country that is *not* 100% powered by renewables, not even electricity only. Please stop saying it is, it's dishonest especially when you take non-electrical energy into account.
"Rusia afirma que ayudará a China a superar a Estados Unidos en energía nuclear" [1]
En 2023, China tenía una capacidad de energía nuclear de 55 GW, mientras que Estados Unidos tenía 96 GW. Para que China supere a Estados Unidos, necesitaría añadir alrededor de 50 GW de capacidad. [2]
Esto es totalmente factible en un plazo de 15 años, porque es exactamente lo que hizo Francia. Francia tiene 61 GW de capacidad de energía nuclear, la mayor parte de la cual se construyó entre 1975 y 1990 en el marco del Plan Messmer, que dio lugar a la construcción de 56 reactores.
Si China sigue un camino similar, podría superar a Estados Unidos en la generación de energía nuclear para 2040.

This enrages and confuses the only renewables people, the more unreliable the specific renewable, the more true this is.

Oil currently at 100.39% capacity to keep the lights on here on Costa Rica at night.
Usually Costa Rica only burns oil for electricity during the hot dry season between February and May. Not December and early January. This is likely the result of greatly reduced rain in an unusually hot December and early January thanks to climate change and El Niño during this last 2023 which broke the record as the hottest year.

I agree with this 100%, here's a related meme I made a year ago.
