After 2020 the existing plants of Beznau (1969, 730 MW) and Mühleberg (1972, 355 MW) should cease activity. At the same time some import contracts with France for around 2000 MW will expire. With a combined electrical power output of 3200 MW, the new reactors would prevent the resulting energy gap and satisfy the expected domestic demand increase.[2]

gollark: ```'I [suspect] that we are throwing more and more of our resources, including the cream of our youth, into financial activities remote from the production of goods and services, into activities that generate high private rewards disproportionate to their social productivity. I suspect that the immense power of the computer is being harnessed to this 'paper economy', not to do the same transactions more economically but to balloon the quantity and variety of financial exchanges.'--James Tobin, July 1984```

gollark: Depends how complex a process you're okay with to get the energy.
