Yes but looking at GW for France, France does seem to be the power station of Europe!...

They're already rioting over tax hikes.

And that's got nothing whatsoever to do with nuclear power.

(one of the causes is apparently a carbon tax...)

Germany is when the sun shines or the wnd blows. When they stop its in poor shape.

Didnt the Italians just throw the French ambassador out of Italy?

It's war, Jim, but not as we know it.

Nope, that fool Macron did a dummy spit and told him to come home after some Italian minister dared to talk to some of them.

Ah. I knew it was some kind of bijoux spatette.

Bollix. The French taxpayer will now have to foot the nuclear decommissioning bill. There is no avoiding it. You really ARE a s*it-fer-brains

For now. Their nuclear power stations are nearing the end of their life. BUT

I thought the French withdrew their ambassador from Italy because the Italian deputy PM held meetings (in France) with the yellow jackets?

But they're turning off nukes to cut them from over 70% of supply to

50%, ramping up carbon taxes and greenp-support surcharges

You are probably right. I just fleetingly recall there being some 'friction' bweteen Italy and France.

It seems odd to have embassies when you are all a part of the same 'country' - the EU. Rather like Guildford having an embassy in Leeds.

It shows that tehn EU isn't a "country".

IOW pay more, get less. I imagine that with the French tendency to riot at the first opportunity, Les Verts will be running for cover in the not-too-distant future, hotly pursued by Les Gilets Jaunes!

So they'll be f***ed as well then:(..

Nah, the CAP will be adjusted to make sure the French are OK ;)
