Re:France approves 720MW of solar as price falls another 5% by nolok on Monday August 13, 2018 @09:42AM (#17749972)
France doesn't plan to drive other energy out of business, we plan to diversify (with the ageing of some of our older reactor, replace them with solar and wind so we decrease to 50% nuclear). We still have a lot of hydro power with no plan to touch it, and we don't want to replace all nuclear by solar/wind either.

That makes sense. Solar does its thing, nuclear takes over slow or predictable fluctuations, hydro takes over for quick changes in solar output.
