>France built 40 nuclear reactors in a decade. Here’s how they did it, and how the world can follow their lead today.

Today France takes more than a decade to build a single reactor (Flamanville 3) and the debts incurred nationalizing EDF, are now causing serious concerns about the whole nation defaulting. As clean and safe as nuclear power might be, I think the world will be fine not following that example.

Flammanville is a prototype, and much of the talent that was used to mass-produce reactors is long gone to time. The dumb thing now that Flammanville is finished would be to not follow up on it.

Perhaps you should read beyond the first sentence.

What's causing "serious concerns about the whole nation defaulting" is billionaires not paying enough taxes, not taking back 15% of what was ours in the first place...
