More nuclear news from the last few days.
Quote:
A group of ten EU countries, led by France, have asked the European Commission to recognise nuclear power as a low-carbon energy source that should be part of the bloc's decades-long transition towards climate neutrality.
Tapping into Europe's ongoing energy crunch, the countries make the case for nuclear energy as a "key affordable, stable and independent energy source" that could protect EU consumers from being "exposed to the volatility of prices".
The letter, which was initiated by France, has been sent to the Commission with the signature of nine other EU countries, most of which already count nuclear as part of their national energy mix: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania.
Nuclear plants generate over 26% of the electricity produced in the European Union.

I guess we can all think those morons in Germany for shuttering nuclear and using their clout in the EU to screw it up for everyone else.
Now Germany is scrambling my implementing coal again, while France & others are able to handle the energy 'self made' crisis a lot better.
Why heads are not rolling for this stupidity is beyond me.
A great example of government incompetency and sheer stupidity.
Canada is not exempt from that either. Instead of being ahead of the curve with nuclear, hydro and gas, we bitch and moan about 'woke, green, clean, sexy' energy solutions without seeing the obvious.
