France makes massive nuclear bet
RTMAR 23 2022
In contrast to countries like Germany, which are overdependent on traditional and environmentally harmful energy sources, France's dozens of nuclear power plants have and will continue to help it get through the winter despite gas supply stoppages from Russia. Germany's over reliance on Russia led to it being forced to stock up on gas from elsewhere. Meanwhile, France was able to kick its domestic nuclear production into gear when the population needed it most.
France faced a potential grid collapse and subsequent rolling blackouts specifically because of its nuclear power plant dependancy. If it weren't for the mild climate of November, the French people could very well have faced catastrophic energy shortages.
