As France’s muslim population continues to grow, I’m sure they are all about nuclear.
Green fades. Cold sucks. Energy prices rising enough is changing hearts and minds — and wallets.
How much Time and Water is wasted washing Garbage so they can call it Recycling ?
Smart move. They can make beaucoup bucks selling electricity to the tree worshiping Allemandes.
Good for them.
The USA should import some of there technology and get on with a similar program.
I’m going to add Nuke Plants to my short list of products where the French have shined [Wine, Skis, Tires].
their....
A ray of sanity in a dark, insane world.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has moved the energy arguments to the right, and advocates for nuclear have been empowered.
Many on the left had already been opening up to nuclear and the winter scare of 2022 moved a lot of public opinion on the need for realistic energy answers.
Thanks for the link.
Looks like the French, per person, use about half of the energy of Canadians [who use more than those in America].
France has been a million times more sensible about this than the Germans. Supposed “greens” can’t object to ZERO EMISSION Nuclear energy - which actually works in delivering enough energy reliably enough.
Isn’t France heavy on breeder reactors? Maybe they CAN’T quit.
We went Uranium, they went Plutonium was what I thought.
The Germans are crazy.
There'll be a war eventually. We've already seen some skirmishes between the natives and the invaders.
never have. not worth it ever.
Uranium has been a great investment over the past 18 months...
We need to spend $3 trillion to ensure our energy future:
$1T to replace the ~100 aging reactors in place;
$1T to build an additional 100 reactors to step up the percentage of nuke in the electric supply;
$1T to build out the distribution system in the grid and harden the grid against attack.
This will take about 20 years.
I would also advocate standardizing on 2-3 reactor designs and establishing a Nuclear Operator cadre of highly paid ex-Navy NUPOC people to run the reactors.
But, I am not POTUS.
Pal2, I will have a bottle of 82 Mouton tomorrow night to underscore your concept of French excellence!
I think it was -45 in Alberta the other day.
