France is one of the only net electricity exporters who don’t use fossil fuels to make that electricity. Unfortunately lack of funding has seriously degraded their nuclear infrastructure and it is now at risk of collapsing, leaving the country and their export partners with severe power shortages.
As always, the issue isn’t with nuclear power as a technology, but with mismanagement.
Isn’t this being a good neighbour?
I’m betting they are sharing the power with Belgium. So if thats the case they are being a great neighbor.
