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
