France has long championed nukes.
Currently they get over 70% of the electricity from nuke plants.
With plans to reduce that to 50% by 2030 by increasing solar and wind.
Of course nuclear power is inherently unsafe, since there is no way to safely dispose of the nuclear waste. While minor and major accidents occur.
The WSJ can cheerlead nukes all they want, but I wouldn't want to live near a nuclear power plant, let alone an aging one, while wind and solar and other renewable sources are clearly the future.
