This is the time when France can really come to the rescue in Europe.

Electricitie d’France has an excellent record for safely and profitably building and operating nuclear power plants. Poland, Hungary, Spain, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria should be crawling over each other to offer favorable deals to build French nuclear reactors on their territory. The electricity without threats of interruption will make those places attractive to locate factories and bring jobs. Electric transmission from those nuclear plants will help Germany and the Scandinavian countries who are too green for nukes survive when Russia cuts off their natural gas.
