that's awesome but... they don't use it 🤦 France is now producing more electricity than it consumes: https://www.francetvinfo.fr/environnement/energie/la-france-produit-plus-d-electricite-qu-elle-n-en-consomme-obligeant-les-producteurs-a-payer-pour-exporter-leur-surplus_7194483.html And it's putting strong financial pressure on producers... that's just unbelievable! This should never happen, if you have too much electricity, build datacenters... or if you really cannot think of something else to do: just mine Bitcoin!

Are they not just exporting more of it to Germany and elsewhere?
