"Turkey and South Korea are discussing the joint construction of a nuclear power plant, the latest of recent efforts by Ankara to diversify its energy sources.

@CelloMomOnCars #EDF will like that as it will help to justify their absurdly expensive nuclear fleet...
Off the coast of Brittany they have one of the largest min-max difference in the tides: it's meters. I can't wait to see that energy harnessed.

@CelloMomOnCars true and there is a tidal barrage here that is operated by EDF.
However EDF hates, tidal, solar and wind and wants the tax payer to pony up for the billions for their shiny new ERP reactors...

I looked up the story of that tidal farm, it's a sad story.

There are lots of technical issues with tidal power but it seems as if they are not even trying.

@CelloMomOnCars not that one, this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rance_Tidal_Power_Station
It's been operational for decades and though there are ecosystem issues on the river it has been a success.
France has good off-shore wind possibilities but they've been stymied by the far right and EDF's obsession with nuclear. We've eventually got an off-shore wind farm at Saint-Brieuc but it's taken years to get built.
