"France to build up to 14 new nuclear reactors by 2050, says Macron. Emmanuel Macron has announced a “renaissance” for the French nuclear industry with a vast programme to build as many as 14 new reactors, arguing that it would help end the country's reliance on fossil fuels and make France carbon neutral by 2050."

I am sure this 5 year extension in based on current energy prices worldwide

France isn’t the USA United States they always built nuclear plants

France’s minister for energy transition said Friday that French electricity giant EDF has committed to restart all its nuclear reactors by this winter to help the country through the broad energy crisis aggravated by the war in Ukraine.

France relies on nuclear energy for about 67% of its electricity – more than any other country – and on gas for about 7%.




So do you have a point

I made a point...you made a mess as usual....

they delayed shuttering the nuclear plant in California becuase it would cause power outages

"The governor pushed for the extension in the final days of the legislative session in an attempt to maintain a steady power supply and avoid the politically damaging prospect of power outages."

Why is California shutting down nuclear plants?

The Senate bill makes it possible for PG&E to apply to keep the two reactors open through October 2029 and October 2030, respectively. The nuclear power plant was slated to shut down largely due to anti-nuclear sentiment in the state and a preference for building out renewable power sources, like wind and solar.
