France has already demonstrated that none of this is true. You people are just irrationally obsessed with "going green" so you will stand in the way of anything, no matter how much sense it makes or much better it is than your crappy ideas.
Most French nuclear power stations are owned by EDF the national utility. Most private investors are wary about nuclear because it can be incredibly expensive to both build and dismantle, not to mention the 1000+ year waste liability which, realistically, only a government can handle. In that regard at least, the article is correct.
This is not to say there is no room for nuclear, there is room for a limited amount of all the mentioned options, I think wind is the most under used right now.
