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

In percentage yes they are

Woa bro I was saying hard on but this is a full on raging erection maybe you should deal with your frustrations

Absolutely, and it’s by design by candid admission of environmentalist organizations and green parties. Their objective was over regulating the industry beyond any rationality and they succeeded.

Lemy has such a hard on against nuclear. I’m seeing reports by antinuclear think tank grifters shoved in my face almost daily…

Incredibly ignorant, anti-science, populist, moronic idiots. And the article too.

That a farm has a periodic yield while this sounds like a one off thing

Right now the comparison between France (61 GWs of installed nuclear) and Germany (130+ -!!!- GWs of installed renewables) is disastrous. Their choice to phase out their remaining plants was criminal but the policy is dumb in general, tying themselves to coal and gas power for the realistic future. I’m very curious to see when (or if) they’ll ever get to the same emission levels and how much time and money they’ll have wasted by then.

BTW. Nuclear Power Plants pay themselves up in decades of operation. Of course a privateer is not extremely keen in this kind of investment. That is exactly why countries are supposed to invest in strategic infrastructure, which are partly indirectly financed by privateers through treasury bonds.

I like how governments are supposed to shit their money out of the window to support renewables with billions in incentives but when the matter is investment in nuclear power suddenly it’s unsustainable economics. Let’s ask Germany how their 600+ billion euro “energiewende” is going shall we?

I don’t think you understand what the alternatives are
