Regulating nuclear makes it even worse economically. Today's state of their fleet shows: they missed the train on renewables. Would they have them, they wouldn't have to buy so much dirty power from abroad. Also: others wouldn

This is a useless graphic. They HAVE to export because they can't regulate and they have to sell so the dishonest hidden price scheme they drive with their tax payer doesn't get too bad. In the end they still need dirty power fro

It is right now completely exposed since they heavily depend on deliveries of dirty energy from Germany, UK, etc. and it will get even worse in the winter if they don't fix the show up.

So you say we should price in all those fossil and renewable sources which help France and they rotting nuclear fleet these days? The whole "criticism" (more like: meddling) of Lazard grew from the fans of nuclear. It doesn't

I don't get your criticism. Why should there not be zero fuel cost? Your second argument is supposed to be a variable? Since with a wider grid, the volatility falls ("there is always wind somewhere"). I also don't think

Are you even aware that France has a price set by the government and that the French taxpayer has been subsidising nuclear power all the time already? How about you punish somebody else for a change?

It won't be ready in three months but it will be better next year and the subsequent summer and so on. Better every year. Unlike with building new reactors where the only subsequent events are news about rising costs and later completi

Holy moly. This is dark. So you want to punish the same people who paid for that ignorant course of several governments by subsidising the state regulated energy price and the companies providing that energy and which are constantly bankrup

Are you trolling me? I didn't say this is supposed to be the only way of getting power. You can put solar everywhere. Not just on roofs and you might have heard about wind. That's a thing too.
