It’s a type of overregulation.

Then why did you feel the need to specify why they work HAHAHA

So you think thermoelectric plants are only geothermal plants and then hope I take you seriously lol

I can’t believe people in the comments are so ignorant and gullible LOL

Maybe study more in depth how the electricity grid and the public incentive system works and them come back with a more informed and less populist opinion

The premise is that river water isn’t cool enough to cool down NPPs. Which is false.

It’s called energy dumping and it’s not a good thing for the stability of neither the grid nor grid prices.

How much energy do geothermal plants produce in Europe lmao

You guys are delusional

It’s so cool that only NPPs feeding warm water into the river is a grave danger while regulations for other types of thermoelectric plants are much more relaxed… But you guys keep your hard on please ;)

Huge concentration of people who have no idea of how the energy grid works.

It doesn’t “rely” on that. Regulations prevent water being backfed to the river at too much of a warm temperature. And btw France were by far Europe’s biggest energy exporter in 2023
