Remember all those anti-US demonstrations because we wouldn't sign Kyoto?
CNN:
"On Monday, France exempted its nuclear power stations from rules protecting rivers in a bid to meet surging demand for electricity and stave off power blackouts.
The plants can now put the cooling water they use back into rivers at higher temperatures than usually allowed.
Two German states also temporarily raised cooling water temperature limits from nuclear plants, while Swiss power officials cut output rather than put hotter water into the country's rivers, Reuters reported."
So it's ok for THEM to damage the environment because their consumers refuse to cut back consumption, but when we do it we're the evil empire?
