Macron: turn off the street lamps at night. Paris from Ville Lumiére to North Korea in one step
French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday, Bastille Day, that the French should prepare for a total shutdown of Russian natural gas, urging citizens to turn off public lights at night and embrace what he called energy "sobriety". as reported by the Associated Press . We will therefore have a much darker France.
Speaking on public television, Macron said that while France is looking to increase alternative energy sources and new natural gas supplies, times are ahead.
“This war will continue. Summer and early autumn will be very tough, ”Macron said, adding that“ Russia is using energy, as it is using food, as a weapon of war. We must prepare for a scenario in which we will have to do without all Russian gas ”.

The French president is aiming for a 50/50 mix of nuclear and renewable energy, but nuclear stutters and renewable is all, or nearly so, to come. Meanwhile there is darkness.
In another attempt to keep costs for consumers low, France is preparing an energy nationalization plan that will see the government take over the remaining 16% stake in the giant energy group EDF for more than € 8 billion, including for absorb the huge debt of the energy company.
