France's slowly surging debt crisis is sending the euro south. A small taste of what happens as the eurozone slides deeper into recession and energy prices hit the energy-poor continent.

I thought france had nuclear power?
Are they stopping that, too?

reply

France used to run 90% on nuclear but now it is 65% so it had become more vulnerable and its energy independence strategy is jeopardized by decades of bad energy policy decisions

reply

France is strong in nuclear power generation and exports electricity. However these are Eurozone numbers and show the impact of France's debt. Nothing to do with power generation in aggregate.

Are you building these graphs yourself? What are each of the sections - I guess the top one is the Euro against the Dollar?
