The fairy tale of cheap French nuclear power.
The fairy tale of cheap French nuclear power. “Bread and Games” (Panem et circenses) were the strategies used in the Roman Empire to maintain power. “Cheap gasoline, inexpensive electricity and football” are election campaign strategies that are often propagated in a democracy.
In France, the nuclear industry is in decline and the nuclear company EDF is heavily indebted. At the same time, President Macron is once again promising cheap nuclear power and wants to have new small nuclear power plants built.
A small part of the financial problems of the French nuclear industry is to be solved with EU money. In this context, the fairy tale of cheap French nuclear power is popular in France and Germany, and the use of nuclear energy is praised as a miracle weapon in the lost war against nature and the environment.
