What is interesting is that the article says other countries should use "France as blueprint".
- to have a state-owned electricity generation monopolist ?
- to use demand-based price increases to push down demand ?
- to provide half the funding for generating plants from taxpayers' coffers?
France's example in nuclear is, if you like to phrase it like that, one of "socialistic infrastructure policies that have proven to work well".
Quoth Lenin, "Communism is the Soviet state plus electrification of the country", https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOELRO https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOELRO - I would like to see a comparative essay on France's nuclear push of 60s/70s/80s and the USSR's 20s/30s/40s. And/or, in fact, later; the number two nuclear power generating country in Europe behind France is, after all, Ukraine.
