There's been a lot of talk about more nuclear in France. But talk is cheap, and financial commitment to new nuclear starts has been notably lacking. The problem, as always, is very high cost and low dependability of the nuclear construction process. The EPR was a disaster, so France would have to go with a redesign. This adds to the risk and reduces confidence in yet another set of assurances that this time it will be cheaper. I predict France will inevitably slide over toward a renewable dominated grid, just like everyone else.
