France needs renewables, if they don't want to ruin themselves and build 150 additional reactors. If they want to become carbon neutral at some point... "On the other side we simply have the tech ... just not existing at all (and nobody knows if it will)." What tech doesn't exist in your opinion? P2G is tech with "large scale planning issues".

> France needs renewables, if they don't want to ruin themselves and build 150 additional reactors. If they want to become carbon neutral at some point... As I said in another comment, France's investment in renewable has actually been even worse in terms of results than Flamanville. 120 billions euros (half of the cost of the whole nuclear grid) for 5% of the production, you can't really go lower than that. In terms of carbon, the other European countries have a lot to catchup to reach France's level. They currently fight very hard against carbon pricing because well, that would mean the french industry would have an edge compared to them... P2G just isn't good enough for now, let's be fair.

  > France's investment in renewable has actually been even worse in terms of results than Flamanville. so what? France inefficiently invests into renewables, thus renewables aren't the answer and we wait for a miracle? > P2G just isn't good enough for now, let's be fair. what does good enough mean? not as cheap as burning subsidized natural gas?
