Yep.

If you look at : https://app.electricitymaps.com/map

and look for 1 year as the time period then the places with low emissions from electricity either have lots of hydro, import power or are nuclear powered.

As yet there does not yet appear to be a single place in the world that uses solar and wind and has low emissions for electricity.

Germany's emissions given the Energiewende and the huge cost of that are particularly noteworthy.

I am somewhat disappointed you aren't aware, as an Australian.

Average emissions there are 5x the average emissions of France.

And in four years, they’ll be close to zero. How long will it take France to replace all of its end of life reactors? Decades. France is coasting on fifty year old capital investments and labor.

> The first and only EPR under construction in France is Flamanville-3, a project led by EDF as developer, constructor, owner and operator. This project is an industrial failure with endless delays and substantial cost overruns observed. When the construction of this reactor started in 2007, its commissioning was scheduled for 2012 at a cost of around €4 billion. In 2022, Flamanville-3 is still not operational and it will not be before 2023 – at least an 11-year delay on a five-year project. Its cost has spiraled to more than €20 billion, a multiplication by a factor five compared to the cost estimate when decision was taken. As a result, the generation cost of Flamanville-3 is now estimated at €115-125/MWh. Explanations provided blame for unpreparedness, incorrect technical references and insufficient detailed studies as well as the loss of competences in the French nuclear industry. The absence of skills maintenance, or “learning by doing”, has proven particularly problematic for the quality of welds – requiring repairs, notably.
