The oil crisis in the 70s really got the French thinking about alternatives. Then they turned around and built over 50 reactors in the next 20 years

Donât want to check absolute amouts for China, and their coal⌠Like, all sectors are large numbers there..
Though their nuclear is going gangbusters
The UK also import a lot of French nuclear sourced power, which changes our numbers a little from what we generate but not a whole bunch
Yeah the scale of power there is large. Theyâre expecting more coal capacity added over the next 5 years than added nuclear capacity, despite the fast nuclear rollout.
Iâm hoping we donât get a second Chernobyl in the next couple of days that scares the public even more on nuclear.
I just watched Kuwaitâs radiation warning to their citizens and I think it did a decent job at not unnecessarily causing panic.
They are also building a truly amazing amount of solar, and impressive high voltage, long distance DC cables to transport it
Rather than the hvAC most countries use for long distance.
Itâs all scaled up largeâŚ
