@firstdogonthemoon They just need to look at France. They are relying heavily on nuclear power and when the drought of 22 and 23 forced them to shut down their nuclear power plants due to lack of cooling, they had to import german solar- and wind-sourced electricity ...
Also, nobody wants the waste buried in their backyard. Or the risks of having such juicy terrorist targets near heavily populated areas.

Near their house? If Putin succeeds in creating a problem with Ukraine's Nuclear power, the whole EU expects to suffer.

@Eatsbluecrayon @firstdogonthemoon that's factually incorrect - many plants don't have to be shutdown in case of extended weather. A lot of the shutdowns were maintenance that was postponed during COVID lockdowns, for instance. (See catf.us/2023/07/2022-french-nu). That period was "celebrated" by supporters of the German policy because for the first year in half a century, France imported more than it exported to Germany; but the situation quickly reverted (bloomberg.com/news/articles/20).

If I remember correctly, it was mostly maintenance and only 2-3 plants that had to reduce their output due to cooling water temperatures rising above permitted thresholds for discharging it back into the rivers it came from.
