Who's your friend ?

So the summer is just beginning and a heatwave already has already brought power cuts in Spain. But they have nuclear power plants there, so what happened ? Well I would not know, but could it have a relationship to the fact that they rely on these power plants for only 25% of their electricity needs ? Or could it somehow be related to the fact that the French CGT union decided to cut off a 400,000 Volts line from France to Spain yesterday yielding an unbalance in their power network "a la" 2003 Northeast blackout ? It must be an untenable position to be a politician in Spain, on the one hand you yield to your constituency and their misguided environmental decisions or you have to be dependent on ... the French, aargh.
