Yeah the main problem is France basically did amazing with nuclear for like 30 years and then in the last 20 they basically flat-lined in total production. And

Yeah the main problem is France basically did amazing with nuclear for like 30 years and then in the last 20 they basically flat-lined in total production. And the dropped all their advanced nuclear and is still planning expensive PWR style reactors until 2050. France had developed a Sodium cooled reactor but because of anti-nuclear sentiment they only built one and killed it. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix That we are still not using high temperature air cooled reactors is just an absolute shame. France did a great thing for the world by investing into nuclear and saving lots of CO2 before it was cool. However unfortunately they didn't do as good a job with advancing the technology.
