> It's so expensive that prices in France, which generates >60% of power with nuclear, are at the same levels (or lower) as Germany, while producing less carbon per kWh than Germany (a quarter from some articles I've found). Maybe you should take a closer look how those prices come to be. Every single nuclear watt is being subsidised and has been for decades. Last time they wanted to play the free market game, they had to bring the company back into the forgiving hands of the French taxpayer. I have rather Germany invest into future tech then waste it on rotting reactors which are obviously unfit for the current state of global warming already. Nuclear was clogging up the grid with it's expensive energy. It is gone now and the grid is diversifying while it follows the path of complete decarbonisation. There is absolutely no reason to look back for Germany and only those whose ideology is "looking back" seriously do that currently. | ||

> Every single nuclear watt is being subsidised and has been for decades. You won't find any grid which isn't subsidized, remember Germany already spent ~2x the French grid and that didn't spend by itself. | ||
