Anyway, why do you think only having Nuclear power is relevant to the

Absdolutely if we had been all nuclear that would not have happened.

It was the lack of renewable generators to respond in the same way that
thermal plant can, to a sudden loss of generating power.


Weren't the French thinking that they should limit the total proportion
of nuclear power as they wanted a higher percentage of total generation
from sources that could switch on quickly, to load balance.

I wasn't entirely convinced.
