I don't think it's fair to blame France, they have long been pushing for nuclear as evidenced by their energy sources being hugely reliant on domestic nuclear rather than foreign energy. It's really been the German greens hellbent on holding back nuclear across the EU.

… and right now you can see how "successful" they are with their nuclear power plants: so "successful" that they have to import energy because a lot of their nuclear power plants are currently offline, due to unexpected problems related to safety. Even better, the current hot weather also causes serious problems and reduces power output.

What a statement.

The German Greens, stalling investments into nuclear energy across the world. A powerful cabal.

Not sure what's odd about my either statement, below are some links as evidence as it seems like you think there's something controversial about what I said.
