Is it a good alternative if it is much more expensive?

  France’s energy prices are lower than Germany, Belgium, Italy and Spain. https://1-stromvergleich.com/electricity-prices-europe/ https://1-stromvergleich.com/electricity-prices-europe/

    Italy (where nuclear power was banned by referendum many years ago) is not able to meet its internal demand, and need to source energy from neighboring countries (including France), not really surprising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Italy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Italy Germany and Belgium are phasing out their own reactors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_phase-out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_phase-out

    Does that include government subsidies? What I'm getting at, is: will governments be supporting nuclear, even if it's considered safe enough? As far as I know the Dutch government has cleared the way for a new nuclear power plant, but no company is willing to build it because they can't recoup the investments. If governments have to subsidise it more than they subsidise wind and solar energy, will they do it?
