After a warning from the head of three power companies, France’s government has announced that it will restart a coal-fired plant this winter.
The announcement that the Saint-Avold will be brought back online comes shortly after the heads of three major energy companies in France warned that the general public must “immediately” cut back on energy use to better enable officials to better handle energy insecurity.
According to broadcaster RTL, officials have said that the coal-fired plant is being brought back into service “a precaution, given the Ukrainian situation”.
Le Figaro meanwhile notes officials as saying that they will be including so-called “environmental compensation” as part of the plan to reactivate the plant, with the publication claiming that an environmentally neutral reopening for the plant has been demanded by government.
As a result, the plant’s operator will engage in the likes of reforestation as part of the reopening to meet this green demand.
The announcement that authorities will reopen the plant comes shortly after the head of three major energy companies in France — Engie, EDF and TotalEnergies — warned that the public must start conserving energy straight away in order to secure the country’s energy situation.
So bad is the situation that even officials within the climate-crazy EU are now calling on Germany to keep using the plants.
“There are still three nuclear power plants operating in Germany, this corresponds to 25% of their electricity consumption,” Internal Market tsar Thierry Breton is reported as saying.
“Rather than deciding to cut them at the end of the year as provided for in the coalition agreements, we can perhaps say to ourselves that we will continue them for one or two years in order to solve this problem,” he went on to say.

Peculiar how electricity/power is in such short supply while a Left looneys are forcing everything electric on the world.
They have no plan other than destruction and chaos to usher in a one-world government.
Australia, South Africa, and Russia will be very happy.
Guess where France gets most of its coal.
Not if the adults club them like baby Harp seals...
” engage in the likes of reforestation “
So, they will plant trees to keep it legal. The western world has allowed the climate fascists to put us in chains.
Nuclear power can help the democratic world achieve energy independence
