Energy Net on 29 Nov 08A few comments regarding Mickey Garcia's letter published Nov. 18: One more person pushing France as an example of how nuclear power can save the world. No mention of France having to temporarily shut down 25 percent of its nuclear power plants due to impending overheating (possible meltdown) during the very hot European summer of 2003. No mention of France having similar problems during the summer of 2005. No mention of the likelihood of an increasing number of such shutdowns brought about by higher ambient temperatures as a result of global warming. No mention of three radioactive leaks in France this last summer that contaminated local rivers, one in a famous wine region.
