The closure of the two nuclear reactors at the Fessenheim plant is clearly a decision taken to please environmentalists. But it is also very bad news for the environment. And especially for the climate. Emmanuel Macron, who likes to present himself on the international scene as one of the most ardent defenders of the fight against global warming, is aware that nuclear energy is a mass energy that emits (almost) no gas at greenhouse effect, and therefore does not contribute to global warming. By doing without an installation producing 1,8 GW of carbon-free electricity, France risks increasing its greenhouse gas emissions, and that is not the promise of installing 300 MW of solar in the Haut-Rhin which will change much in the equation. https://www.lefigaro.fr/sciences/la-fer ... e-20200211
