French Electricity Coming In at 29 g CO2/kwh.

It's the lowest I've seen out of France, on the Electricity Map granted that it's a Sunday morning, 5:05 AM Paris time.



Germany's coming in at 338 g CO2/kwh.



In "percent talk" the carbon intensity of Germany is 1165% higher than that of France.

Oh well...

because of irresponsible fear mongering by the greens. If their goal is to help the planet, killing nuclear to replace it with coal is not the right way to go about it.
For years they hyped the dangers of nuclear power while completely sweeping under the rug that the alternatives are many times worse.
