The French, yes, the French get 95% of their power from nukes. What is wrong with the LIBTARDS? Don’t they understand that if the French can do this safely, the U.S. of A. can do it “in spades”!
Agreed! This all goes back to the leftist hysteria of Three Mile Island and the China Syndrome movie of the late 1970`s. Part of the envirowacko extremist movement and eventual WashDC lobby that killed the nuclear reactor business.
we have almost double the nuke plants than the French do - 102 vs 59.
France is a great counrty. About the size of Montana and a population of 81.5 million.
France derives over 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy. This is due to a long-standing policy based on energy security. They make the electricity with 59 reactors.
France is the world’s largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation, and gains over EUR 3 billion per year from this.
France has been very active in developing nuclear technology. Reactors and fuel products and services are a major export.
France uses ‘standard’ reactors, easing training and reducing maintenance costs.
