Europe has mis-managed its situation horribly. Hard to believe they’ve made so many bad decisions.

Having lived in Europe several times.....no it isn’t. Once you get to know these people and get exposed to their smugness, posturing and sheer idiocy, you can easily see how they’ve screwed things up so badly.

The Germans are the very worst of the bunch.

Not all of them, stopped clocks?
NB: France is just a bit smaller than Texas, has 58 nuclear reactors.

“France is the world’s largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation, and gains over €3 billion per year from this.”

“France has 58 nuclear reactors operated by EDF, with a total capacity of 63.1 GWe.France’s present electricity generation mix is a result of the French government deciding in 1974, just after the first oil shock, to expand rapidly the country’s nuclear power capacity, using Westinghouse technology. This decision was taken in the context of France having substantial heavy engineering expertise but few known indigenous energy resources*. Nuclear energy, with the fuel cost being a relatively small part of the overall cost, made good sense in minimising imports and achieving greater energy security.”
