No, not Tihange.

Yet another broken promise. To me, this looks more like a complete political failure then some sort of victory for the climate. And we're going to have to pay for it through the nose.

Nobody saw this coming, absolutely nobody... I guess we'll just pay the bill... I mean we could always buy russian gas to power up gas turbines................

Soooooooo we’ll see a decrease in electricity costs?

Nope, since electricity from nuclear is not priced at its production cost. Just extra profits for Engie.

No your're going to pay the bill because, they told Engie to stop investing into Thiange and Doel. They forced them to shut down. And now were fucked.
