Plus they're probably doing it out of necessity rather than a commitment, Macron's governments have been rather eager to hand out customers to Total by negotiating rebates with the company, a major oil producer at the detriment of other producers rather as creating a tax of giga profits (profits that are purely out of market fluctuations) as has been done in other countries. They've chosen not to come back on closing some nuclear plants while putting a smoke screen about small scale reactors. Nuclear industry needs stability to develop, those are big long term investments. The last French governments have not provided that stability at all, it's a real shame.
