For the paranoid developed world. It's doing fine for others (and surprisingly for France).

No, it is not. After Flamanville, France will NEVER build another nuclear plant again.

(Hit it bankrupted EDF more than tripled in costs and in more than 15 years late)

Solar / Wind Capital costs circa USD 1 /watt and Nuclear circa USD 11.

If there's one thing you probably shouldn't lecture France about, it's nuclear electricity production and its environmental impact : https://www.electricitymap.org
