The military coup in Niger has raised concerns about uranium mining in the country by the French group Orano, and the consequences for France's energy independence.
The UK has the same problem with it’s grid and we are rebuilding our grid. But this it true of #nuclear too. Massive new powerlines are being built across Somerset.
One thing I am getting out of this is how different counties are. In the UK we have massive capacity for wind tidal etc.
Overbuilding renewables is good. Zero wind can happen but in the UK it’s usually windy somewhere. Overcapacity means big surpluses for industry
