Your reasoning doesn't follow. If France's nuclear power was expensive, how did they export it? They sold it on a market where someone thought it was a better deal than alternatives.
- Retric 8y agoWhen the value of something is zero for you, making anything from selling it is a net gain. It’s true France needed massive subsidies to get into that place, but by exporting they needed slightly lower subsidies. For a current example, the US loses money by exporting subsidized food. But, they would lose even more money by letting that food rot.
