Since 2005 France has deployed as much solar and wind generation as they've removed nuclear, about 10-15%.

You probably meant late 20th Century France, when better renewable alternatives didn't exist, not current 21st century France.

Ahh yes. France’s investment in replacing carbon free nuclear with… carbon free intermittents. Fortunately that hype-driven waste is not stopping France from building out new EPR2 reactors.
