Re: Smart people
" I guess a lot of people will be wanting to move workloads into eu-west-3 (Paris) where they have lots of nuclear power stations?"
Well, given the ageing French nuclear fleet, and the problems they had in 2022 when 32 out of 56 reactors were down for faults or scheduled maintenance I'd not want to be too confident on the reliability of their power. Even with proposed life extensions, they can't escape the problems of fleet with an average age around 36 years, and that will be compounded by the problems of having a Europe wide power grid when Germany have shut their 36 reactors, Italy shut down their four, and the loss of 36 reactors in the UK. And all the while they're pushing to make cars run on electricity, and remove gas from heating and power generation.
Europe has no meaningful energy policy, is not so much sleepwalking but actively striding into a bleak future of self imposed energy shortages and intermittent power supply. To do what they want entirely with renewables would require a ten-fold increase in expenditure over the current plans, and I'm not seeing the money nor the political will.
