Hot weather cuts French, German nuclear power output

You have about 50% share of electricity heating in France, it's far from nothing.

Edit: And coal heating is probably close to zero to be honest, that sounds old, even for the countryside. The rest of those 50% would be gas, petrol and wood.

I am so jealous. Here in Kazakhstan we use coal-powered central heating. And here is the kind of air it gives us:

It gets much worse in the evening.

These photos were taken in Almaty, but the situation is the same everywhere (if not worse).

At first I wanted to post this particular photo, but couldn't find it, and now I can't edit the original comment.
