This is quite cool; Real time monitoring of the electricity generation mix in the UK and France.
It is interesting to see just how much Nuclear power the French are selling to their neighbours - and just how little fossil fuel they burn as a result of their heavy investment in that technology.
At 7am local time, France is getting 105% of its electricity from nuclear, and 11% from hydro (and the excess 16% is being sold to Belgium, Switzerland, the UK, Italy, Germany and Spain). The UK is getting as much power from France right now as she is from wind power.
