Just because in Germany the bill was footed by the consumer and geopolitical dependcies (Russia) does not make its CO2 free electricity cheaper. It also still lacks behind France in CO2 emission.

This argument is like nuclear power was a waste for France in the 1980s because they weren't done removing all oil from their grid.

As per recent French nuclear construction they are on a path of replacing it with renewables because it is horrifically expensive and they are unable to finance new construction.

My argument is that german electricity is way more expensive then the french. But you are right npp is overregulated and should be build in convoys to manage cost.
