@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 https://www.catf.us/2023/07/2022-french-nuclear-outages-lessons-nuclear-energy-europe/). 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 (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-08-07/france-is-europe-s-top-power-exporter-as-germany-turns-importer).
