A few things to give you some hope: * The target to reduce the share of nuclear to 50% does not directly imply that nuclear production will decline as much. The reason is that the share of electricity (from nuclear, hydro renewables.. combined) in total energy consumption should increase (electrical vehicles, hydrogen production etc.). * Most French people still believe nuclear emits CO2. I expect that to change as people get more and more informed on climate change. Once more people realize it's one of the cleanest source for greenhouse gases, I expect a stronger support for nuclear * The sovereignty aspect (France does not extract uranium on its soil but has well established logistics) is more important in the French debate recently, probably increased since Covid. The lack of wind in UK recently causing price to soars, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline for Germans to get gas from Russia.. are not examples France wishes to follow |
