Siemens left nuclear behind mostly because they realised what a money-pit it is when they were partners on the EPR project. The decision to sell off happened before Fukushima and the sale happened 7 days after Fukushima. Turning on reserve coal power plants for unreliable French nuclear reactors does not help climate either. Germany meets its ambitious goals for expansion of renewables, while France fails the goals for keeping old nuclear reactors running, constructing new nuclear reactors and building out renewables.
