Lets see if you can remember the other side of the story.

Johnson ignored his advice and had to back track at last minute.

Johnson is captain hindsight

Not that much, at its peak it made up 25% of their power, I think we used to be around 20% and are down to 16% at the moment. France is an outlier.

I think the choice to shut down their nuclear fleet was a mistake, once they're up and running they're a very good generation system*. The choice to keep shutting it down with the gas crisis is very strange.

*Unless you have a natural disaster, in which case a rather unnatural disaster can follow.
