I find it rather odd that this article twice claims that rising energy costs were due to worker unions.
Also, there's no mention anywhere of what production stops would cause for other countries. Can you imagine building a chip plant without ASML? No. That means they can force rather high prices worldwide.
They certainly are correct that it's going to be difficult, but taking about nuclear power plants who needed to shut down due to a hot summer? That seems like a strawman to me, because their cooling is going to be fine in winter.
