On the contrary, I find that the media hardly talk about it... To be able to produce scientific publications, you have to invest in research. However, for the moment, all the credits go to ITER which will never produce electricity. I should have said indeed the "rare" publications!! The...

:lol: no serious economist is able to precisely fix the cost of dismantling the nuclear fleet! EDF to provision 6 billion euros out of the 60 recommended by the Court of Auditors.... . It is possible, but these calculations were made in 2003, a period in which the "principle of pre...

Hydrogen-boron fusion power plants could be the ideal complement to solar energy. By design (they work like an internal combustion engine) they can be started and stopped almost instantly. I find it a little surprising that for 4 or 5 years the main...

I think I misspoke: with solar, the cheapest electricity will of course be during the day. So the cheapest rate will also be during the day, and the current night peak will be moved during the day, which in any case will better correspond to domestic and na...

What is the difference in electrical power between summer and winter? It's... electric heating! Nuclear power poses few problems in balancing production/consumption between summer and winter, the same is not true for absorbing the winter consumption peaks that occur...

Er.... and where is the sun at this time???

Yes, but you produce your electricity with hydraulic power, full stop It's linked to an exceptional natural situation (I'm not jealous :wink: ) the rest is decoration Your biggest hydraulic power station alone represents almost 6 nuclear slices and you are 8 times...

Neither Germany nor France have Québec's natural resources and EDF will never be Hydro-Québec
