Secarea Dunării aduce țările din Europa Centrală în pragul unei crize energetice

The Danube's historic low water levels are causing energy crises in Central Europe, leading to nuclear reactor shutdowns and calls for energy conservation. Romania and Hungary are particularly affected, with Romania's Cernavodă nuclear plant operating on one reactor due to water shortages. Hungary's Paks plant faces similar challenges, prompting government warnings about critical energy shortages. Severe drought conditions across the Danube basin have led to significant reductions in hydroelectric power production, with countries urging citizens to conserve water and electricity. The situation is exacerbated by climate change, resulting in record high temperatures and low precipitation levels.
