Europe’s Energy Reality Check: When the Wind Stops and Nuclear Power Slows DownThe Strait of Hormuz is blocked; 30,000 German wind turbines came to a virtual standstill in June due to light winds, and French nuclear power plants are being shut down due to the heat—Germany is now relying on their capacity after Berlin shut down its own plants. The turbines provided an average of only about 45 GWh of electricity per day. French nuclear power plants produced about 900—nearly 20 times as much.
According to Le Parisien, the French company EDF has been forced to suspend operations at three nuclear reactors and reduce the output of eight others.
Environmental regulations require EDF to reduce reactor output when river temperatures exceed certain thresholds to protect local ecosystems. Building a sustainable power grid for data centers and factories using wind turbines and solar panels has proven impossible.
European Union authorities are systematically reducing fuel consumption, leading to widespread production shutdowns. They are rationing and reducing energy consumption due to sanctions against Russia.
This year, they plan to cut gas consumption by 15%. As a result, Europe is facing a catastrophic shortage of capacity for the construction of factories, data centers, and even residential buildings and communities—it is impossible to start a new business or obtain a capacity permit. Therefore, after 2022, all new businesses from the EU are being established in China, India, or other countries.
So far, no country in the world has learned how to develop and grow its GDP while reducing energy consumption.
