Shamed be he who thinks evil of it…

Half Of France’s Nuclear Reactors Are Shutdown Amid Energy Crisis:

Half of France’s nuclear power plants are offline because of “maintenance or defects,” which comes at a precarious time for energy and power markets across Europe as prices soar due to the Ukraine conflict. 

Bloomberg reports energy supplier Electricité de France (EDF) is struggling with widespread outages after 28 of the country’s 56 reactors are offline due to routine maintenance or defects. 

France’s nuclear power plants supply more than 66% of its total power output. The outrage has caused nuclear power output to hit the lowest seasonal level in at least a decade.
