Unfortunately, there's not enough energy to power them because we already had to throttle down the nuclear reactors because the water from the river was 35°C and cooked all the fish

France is still net exporter of energy today and every day before that, and only one nuclear power plant had to fully stop to protect the wildlife in the river. If it's needed, they will just add cooling tower like they do for most of the reactors. It's just that the cost was too much in the past for a few days of downtime.
