Europe in general have a very clean grid but nuclear is an amazing power source. If we could get Spain, Italy, Germany and Poland down to French levels it would be huge.

“one of the” being an understatement, it’s 1/3rd to 1/20th that of most every other countries on the planet, and on par with the hydronormies up north.

Are you hearing this Germany? Or the idiot Green Party in my country? Biggest mistake ever
Oh boy, if the Greens could read stats they would be very upset
Nuclear fleet means nuclear power plants in this context? I was confused.
😎
Yet the EU forces us to sell it at the marginal price of natural gas.
Yeah, sadly the anti-science Greens got their way in most of Europe and closed nuclear and stopped investing in it.
Never ask a reddit-german about the difference between german and french co2 emissions for energy
And yet, Greenpeace will tell you this is a bad thing.
