> Europe absolutely spent many years phasing out nuclear energy
Germany is not Europe. Over 70% of electricity in France is nuclear and they have plans to build at least 6 EPR2 plants.
- picafrost 1y agoIt is more representative of the situation over the past 30 years to say that France is not Europe. But even they had plans to cut nuclear energy to 50%.

- ViewTrick1002 1y agoLooking in absolute terms France is essentially phasing out nuclear power. But can't bring themselves to accept it politically. They have an enormous fleet nearing end of life and are making political noise over a tiny number of plants they haven’t even taken the final investment decision on. They are stuck arguing how the mindbogglingly large required subsidies should be financed. In other words: They are betting on renewables as much as anyone else, they just can't bring themselves to stop wasting money on nuclear power due to political reasons.
