Dude, you're talking about taxes, I tell you what ends up on my tax bill.
Now you're telling me that EDF is essentially the state. Sure, but that's pretty much like my own company is essentially me. There are still two separate bank accounts, and clear rules and proper accounting about what goes from one account to the other.
My point was that the "EDF is subsidized, a large part of your energy bill is paid by your tax bill" claim is wrong.
Now if you want my opinion about our current (and past) government and how they mismanage EDF and ruin the legacy they received, I can go on for hours. That's unrelated to nuclear, though.
