Why is France struggling? Because of fucking european regulations forcing our energy sector to sell energy AT LOSS to competitors

Well I mean if you take a look at Flamanville Block 3. If you call that a smooth an unproblematic construction... They startet in 2007 wanted to produce energy by 2012, for the construction cost of 3.3 bn Euro. It's still not connected to the network, though it's sceduled for the end of the year and construction cost went up to 13.2bn (EDF) or 19bn (Cour des comptes) whoever you want to believe.

That is what I was talking about, France is the most experienced country in Europe concerning nuclear energy and have serious problems with it. If you want to blame it on European regulations, be my guest.
