@core.memory.videos: China is infamous for its copycat strategy of Western technologies. But France did the same thing with nuclear plants back in the 1970s, copying American power plants. Now, France is one of the few countries with a strong nuclear energy base, and still going. James Krellenstein, cofounder of Alva Energy and Nuclear Energy savant, came on the podcast to discuss France’s nuclear program, China’s latest energy bets, and why America is falling behind. Link in bio for full podcast. #nuclear #nuclearenergy #Tech #nuclearpower

It’s great for a socialist country to use nuclear. Unfortunately that wouldn’t work in a capitalist country since profit trumps safety and the consequences of failure wouldn’t fall on the owners and operators but on the citizens nearby.

In 2024, France’s electricity mix was roughly 67–68% nuclear, 14% hydropower, 12–13% wind and solar combined, and about 6% fossil fuels.

That was really smart. We should make a bunch more nuclear power plants in the United States.

The French taxpayer is paying for nuclear power for a nuclear power plant in Finland they built using this approach.

Does France still run on nuclear or did they dismantle like other countries did?

Grid planner here, if people are curious, we don’t build more these days due to very high upfront costs. They’re touch to pencil out, sadly.

German Siemens and AEG did the same with Westinghouse and GE pwr and bwr designs. German reactors were more powerful reliable and secure before the technology was sold to framatome and the state of the art reactor fleet was sadly later phased out and demolished
