Which agrees with my premise. The reactors are being shut down because they are not economically competitive.

Not really. The average cost of electricity in France is 26.5% cheaper than the EU average. Fessenheim is also being closed due to pressure from anti nuke groups, Switzerland and Germany.

They're not economic at peak load but then become economic at base load in support of renewables? Sounds like a win-win.
