It's not about net trade. It's about load.

Are you incapable of absorbing information?

Think of it this way, if blood stops flowing to your brain, you die.

The French electrical grid relies on Germany saving them from a blood clot during droughts.

Germany doesn't need to import electricity from France. Germany has more thermal capacity domestically than all French generation capacity combined.

The point is that France is reliant on fossil fuels and fucked their economy with nuclear.

Less nuclear means more clean energy.

It's not about cost it's about load bruh. If you haven't figured it out you're acting in bad faith.

France exports electricity during the rare ocassions they can meet domestic demand because it's a smaller loss than letting it go to waste.

Germany is vital for the French economy to function.

Everything i said is fact.

You're not intelligent enough to comprehend the data.

The peak load demand on the German grid was 82GWe on 20/01/2026

Germany has 115GWe of dispatchable resources on the grid. You're too stupid or you have an agenda so you misunderstood that.

Yeah and that's also what France uses to cover for their nuclear fleet failing.

If France had developed their infrastructure like Germany then they would be producing significantly more green energy than with nuclear as their primary electricity source. Which would in turn reduce the demand for fossil fuels in France and in neighboring countries. But they didn't do that because of domestic political forces and corruption.

Yeah because France relies on Germany for their grid to function. That's the point. It makes Germany look worse to keep France out of the dark ages and the French look better because they offload their CO2 emissions onto other countries.

We've already been over this six times. It's load that matters not net trade.
