Yeah, let‘s ignore that construction costs

And the subsidies needed to keep the price "low".

That’s why France had to raise the price because even with subsidies they couldn’t cover the costs

I'm not quite sure what you meant by this. By France did you mean EDF? And which power station are you referring to?

I am not sure either. But they keep increasing the proposed subsidies for the EPR2 program, and they still haven't been able to pass them.

The French government just fell due to being underwater while being completely unable to handle it. A massive handout of tax money to the nuclear industry sounds like the perfect solution!
