French carbon intensity is 32 g CO2/kwh as of this hour. [View all]

Electricity Map, France, accessed 7:41 US (EST) 04/01/23, 1h41m Paris 04/02/23.

In antinuke heaven, Germany, the carbon intensity is 277 g CO2/kWh, a little more than half of its normal carbon intensity as the wind is blowing there and it's just after midnight on a Sunday morning. In percent talk, this is 866% higher than the carbon intensity of France.



This won't matter to people who think that nuclear energy is "too dangerous," but climate change isn't.

It also won't matter to people who think that nuclear energy is "too expensive," but climate change isn't.

Nor will it matter who think that Fukushima is the worst energy disaster of all time but climate change isn't.

It also won't matter to people who are obsessed that someone may die from exposure to radiation because of the Fukushima event 12 years ago, but couldn't care less about the 18,000 people who will die today from air pollution.

Have a pleasant Sunday.
