France generates two-thirds of its electricity from nuclear power, making it the country’s dominant power source.

    Not half. “About 15%” of nuclear power plants were shut down due to water sources that were too warm for environmentally safe discharge.

    But that’s still a significant percentage.

      Yeah I was memeing a bit. Their power grid is also completely fine because it’s part of the European grid that is supplied by all sorts of electricity sources that can compensate for those nuclear plants.
