Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing.

Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position to backtrack before it was too late. The French sit within the former category, the Swedes in the latter, recently ditching self-destructive plans to rely on wind and solar, plumping for new nuclear power, instead.

The French were, and remain, Europe’s biggest nuclear power generator, delivering reliable and affordable electricity to the German and British neighbours, among others – which is the reason the French are demanding that their dependents start building their own nuclear power generation capacity, instead of sponging off the French every time the sun sets or calm weather sets in.
