If what you say is true then yes, but it doesn't sound logical. Why would the French government take taxpayers' money, put that into nuclear facilities, then sell the surplus to other countries if it's such a clear loss of money? Wouldn't it be more economical to either have other types of energy production facilities or import the power instead? I'm going to need sources, preferably Wikipedia or something similarly peer-reviewed (not a random blog or opinionated organisation), for this to make sense to me.
