2. on the other hand
Of course, another way to read this is that since the French nuclear industry is heavily subsidized, French taxpayers are being soaked to provide power to Germany, while the nuclear industry sops up the government-sweetened profits.
The nuclear industry is dead anywhere that the market actually has to bear the risk. Reach as far as you want for straws, renewables are the way of the future, sorry.
