- rtpg 2y agoI'm willing to accept that, but hasn't every country in the world been subsidizing energy the past couple of years? Is it more agressive than in other countries? In other words, what behavior is distinct between the UK and France (or other countries)?
- seadan83 2y agoFor france at least, two thirds of energy is nuclear, falling demand, and now lots of renewables coming online [1] Falling demand is notable to me. Though, the nuclear backbone and full embrace of renewable deployments is IMO smart [1] https://fortune.com/2024/06/16/electricity-prices-france-negative-renewable-energy-supply-solar-power-wind-turbines/ https://fortune.com/2024/06/16/electricity-prices-france-neg...
- ahartmetz 2y agoI would like to know how much is subsidies and how much is economy of scale from a half-century of constantly pro-nuclear energy policy.
