However, the direction in France seems to be to replace part of nuclear with renewable. But building wind and solar power (hydro is already maximized to my knowledge) means the nuclear plants have to reduce their power output when there is wind and sun, so basically they are used to save uranium. But uranium is cheap, what is not is building the actual plant. So it just increases nuclear price per MWh since they have to produce less over time to make room for wind/solar power. So basically by building renewable we are reducing nuclear power's viability on the grid. Since there does not seem to be viable storage option (if there was we'd be building that instead of gas power plants everywhere), running only on renewable is not possible. So I really don't see the point in using renewables as we do when electricity is already low-carbon.
