> but rather that the NUM destroyed the domestic coal industry, which became totally uncompetitive relative to more or less any foreign producers. It wasn't Russia specifically, it was that UK mining became dysfunctional and unreliable.
If you think miners should not be fairly compensated for their work you're free to go work as one for one of those foreign producers that less "dysfunctional" and more "reliable"
> Nuclear isn't going well for France right now. And most of the EU uran comes from Russia
Even not doing well it's better then Germany's wind and solar - it's rare to see Germany electricity polluting going below 4x France - not to mention coal whose transportation is also affected by low water levels
It is simply the real democratic leader of each country for lack of a better single phrase because countries that still have monarchies pretend their head of state is their monarch
There is nothing Byzantine about pragmatically accommodating the differences between the political systems of independent states
The alternative would be.... Requiring all states to not call their monarchs heads of state? Removing their monarchies? Having the same political system? Pointless dogmatism
Thanks to nuclear, France is decades ahead of us in Germany
We barely average 50% green electricity today, at 4x carbon cost of France - and that is before we try to transition heating and transport (cars) to electricity
