Just gonna have to shower your enthusiasm a wee bit on the electricity prices in France: they are rising steeply, but this is mostly for political reasons, as this was to allow the private sector to make money from the public nuclear production in the name of "free and fair competition". It's explained reasonably well here (in french only though): https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/March%C3%A9_de_l%27%C3%A9lectricit%C3%A9_en_France#Acc%C3%A8s_r%C3%A9gul%C3%A9_%C3%A0_l'%C3%A9lectricit%C3%A9_nucl%C3%A9aire_historique_(ARENH) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/March%C3%A9_de_l%27%C3%A9lectr...

- bboygravity 7y agoEven so, consumer electricity prices in France (as far as I know) are still about !45 %! cheaper right now than the German ones at significantly lower CO2 emissions. The Germans couldn't even do that nasty political thing that France is doing even if they wanted to. That's how high their production price (and subsidies through taxes) are. https://selectra.co.uk/energy/guides/tariffs/electricity/europe https://selectra.co.uk/energy/guides/tariffs/electricity/eur...
