The Germany/France ratio of emissions is relevant because the real difference of emissions if much lower than your graph shows (at worse 1.4 instead of 1.7), and I described (above) why: France has less industry (<=> emissions for stuff is done elsewhere), is less rich (less stuff) and its climate is less cold. It is pertinent because it shows that nuclear power isn't a major factor there. But we both already agree on this (nuclear cannot solve the climate challenge) because you wrote other CO2-emitting sectors "land use and agriculture, heat, industry".

I don't think you are anti-renewables, please quote any sentence of mine letting you believe it. I don't think that nuclear is part of a solution, that's my point here, and my arguments are in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24381421

You seemed to miss the part where I, twice, referenced CO2eq emissions per capita from energy along and not country wide.

Your sentence was "France has one of the lowest CO2 emissions per capita" (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24371196 ), and in our context I understood that you presented it at a result mostly due to the use of nuclear power, however it absolutely isn't (nuclear power only offers a tiny fraction of this achievement, at the price of many new difficult problems).
