Nuclear seems to have worked out well for France over the last 50 years.
- mmooss 2y agoBut not cost-effectively, afaik ?
- rnhmjoj 2y agoIt depends what you consider as costs. France power generation (and consumption as well) is one of the very few with reliably low carbon intensity. You can play around with https://app.electricitymaps.com/map https://app.electricitymaps.com/map and see how bad the emissions are in the rest of Europe.
