I mean, it doesn't HAVE to, does it? Presumably it's a voluntary trade?
Edit: Lol. Just like Reddit, get downvoted for asking a neutral question.
The united EU energy market means that essentially, yes they have to.
Maybe voluntary is the wrong word, but do they not get paid for the exports?
Sssshhhh, don't interrupt the nuclear circlejerk.
Its interesting they use "most recent generation of turbines" but don't do that on nuclear. Also WISE is not a credible source. It's an anti-nuclear organisation with guys like Mycle Schneider on board.
Which source says 117g/kWh for nuclear? IPCC 2014 says 12g, UNECE 2020 about 5.1g (for EU28 nuclear).
Feel free to tell us how much cheaper current nuclear power plants are than the ones that were built in the 70s and 80s.
I'm sure there's some great data from Flamanville, Olkiluoto or Hinkley Point, showing us all how cheap and affordable nuclear has become.
If you thought just a little bit about what I wrote, you would know I was discussing the second graph.
Answer my points, not reinterpret them to fit your agenda.
"Consequential cost to health and environnement" of nuclear if higher that coal ? Wtf, in what world ?
Coal is more radioactive than nuclear plant, and that's the lesser issue, between air polution, plant burning, and the effect of that much co2 being released, that can't be true.
Either it's bullshit or I missunderstood the graph.
They shutdown half of their reactors temporarily for maintenance in 2022. It was a one time thing. Your statement makes it seem like they do it every year.
Electricity don't know about capitalism, it has its own laws.
My electricity provider shuts off my power if I don't pay, obviously physical laws of electricity allow at least that much.
