Quote Wikipedia:
“A fire in September 2021 caused the link to be removed from service. National Grid announced that half of its capacity would be restored within a fortnight, with full capacity being restored after six months.”
France, are even today threatening this that and the other to the U.K.
“France has intensified pressure on the U.K. over post-Brexit fishing rights, warning bilateral co-operation could be at risk. France on Tuesday repeated its threat to cut the U.K. off from energy supplies.
A U.K. government document in July said that 47% of the country’s electricity imports were from France.
French Europe Minister Clément Beaune told Europe 1 radio: “The U.K. depends on our energy exports, they think they can live alone while also beating up on Europe and, given that it doesn’t work, they engage in aggressive one-upmanship.”
We should tell the French to fuck off and take Hinkley Point C with them.
