France could face blackouts without Russian gas — Michelin boss

"Energy-intensive businesses in France are currently preparing for possible power outages in
the event of further reductions of natural gas supplies from Russia, says the CEO of Michelin, Florent Menegaux.

“What we’ve done is we’ve converted our boilers, so they’re capable of running on gas or oil, and we can even switch to coal if we need to,” Menegaux told Reuters on the sidelines of a business and economics conference in southern France over the weekend." NW
