What may lie ahead this winter

[Lehaut]

I found this short video about electricity supply in France and possible scenario's for the winter quite interesting.

It is from Le Monde, with English subtitles.  Whether you  agree or not is another subject.

Yes, I find your video very interesting and the explanations very well put and illustrated.

I think we can forget all the Christmas lights and eat a cold smorgasbord type lunch for the "holidays"?  Sorry, maybe that's not the best tip you have had all year?🤐

A clear well-explained video typical of Le Monde which is my favourite newspaper

[Harnser]

It's a very good explanation of the difference between demand and consumption, and an illustration of the limitations of the renewables which should really be called the unreliables.
