Ironically, France has issues now because they spent around 120 billions on renewables with very few results.
Had this money been spent on the nuclear grid, the gris would be in a much better state now.

Why would anyone spend more money on that? https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/edf-hopeful-end-sight-long-delayed-budget-busting-nuclear-plant-2022-06-16/ https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/edf-hopeful-end-sigh... With more than half of the French nuclear fleet offline, nuclear in this energy crisis is just only contributing to the problems.
