The european grid is lagging behind the adoption of renewables, sad to see france and sweden thinking more in their profits than in helping europe advance and be safer against attacks

What is the point of wanting to decarbonize the energy grid if the countries investing the most for decades into cleaner power (nuclear) are both forced to compete against coal and gas prices and on top of that have to fund the energy grid of the countries running these cheap coal plants?

Does it come with the money to pay for the end of life of our nuclear fleet ?
France and Sweden are already lowering the EU electricity prices by providing cheap baseload power.
Asking them to help other countries upgrade their grid is double dipping.

All for one, but fk you lot I’m not paying for that! XD
>”We must deliver a genuine energy union capable of providing stable, predictable and competitive energy to industry,” he [Macron] said in a speech in Antwerp, Belgium.
>He said such as single energy market would require massive investment in energy grids and creating an integrated general grid.
How it’s going:
>France and Sweden want to block a new proposal that would force countries to share the cost of major upgrades to the European Union’s electricity network, arguing it will hand them an unfair financial burden.
These are two weeks apart.

I will never not find it funny when France is complaining about having to spend money on projects that they aren’t directly profiting from.
And dont get me wrong, I dont have any problem with it. They have any right to do it.

Of course France doesn’t want that. For decades they have refused to let Iberian energy pass through their territory, effectively leaving the Iberian Peninsula as an electricity island, because they fear cheap renewable energy outcompeting their nuclear power.

Sweden gets fucked as usual.
As if the syrian refugee wave in 2015-2016 that noone stopped just to have most of them end up in germany and Sweden wasn’t enough.
