You are right, it wasn't my intention to imply the 50% refer to France. I'll try to edit the phrasing. I don't get why you think comparing to offshore wind is

  Comparing worst capacity factor (for cited reasons) with best CF without saying it is offshore in some of the best location is misleading. Also is comparing dispatchable and intermittent/fatal. There a other factors to consider like reserve ratio, or how the production can cover the power needs over the year, it gives hints at how you need to scale seasonal storage.
