Basically this. The electricity bill went far higher for citizens while at the same polluting more the environment with wind mills and solar panels as far as the eye can see. The impact on nature and citizens is far worse but this socialist-inclined government continues the decade-long USSR-sponsored propagand against nuclear power to handicap western nations. USSR is long gone but this propaganda is well alive, unfortunately. Without irony, France keeps building nuclear generators close to the german borders. Guess to whom we are buying energy surplus? Yep, this is just awful and the article avoided mentioning these critical details.

France does not keep build nuclear generators close to the german border. Electricity trade between France and Germany was pretty balanced in 2023. For example, Germany imported more from Denmark, which does not have nuclear plants. I do not think that there is USSR-sponsored propaganda against nuclear power in western nation. In fact, Russia earns a lot of money by exporting nuclear fuel and Rosatom is one of the few companies not embargoed.

  Instead of "thinking", just try learning more about history. On this case from the Cold War interests that western Europe wouldn't grow energetically independent: https://warontherocks.com/2017/09/russian-active-measures-in-germany-and-the-united-states-analog-lessons-from-the-cold-war/ https://warontherocks.com/2017/09/russian-active-measures-in...
