The French have infuriated the wind and sun cult by demanding more nuclear power<\/a> generation, across Europe. The cult is equally annoyed by the (rather inconvenient) fact that the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours, which doesn\u2019t sit well with the myth about nuclear power being expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better still, given that there power supply doesn\u2019t depend on the weather, the French don\u2019t suffer the misery of routine power rationing and blackouts like their German neighbours, when the sun sets and\/or calm weather sets in. In the absence of nuclear power from France and coal-fired power from Poland Germany\u2019s power grid would have collapsed years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they\u2019ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over 75% of their electricity from their nuclear plants, and export large volumes of what they generate to power-starved Germans and Brits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French are clearly committed to a nuclear-powered future, with their government announcing a \u20ac100 million investment in the education and training of the next generation of nuclear engineers, researchers and innovators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France\u2019s Ministry of Energy Transition last Friday announced an investment of more than \u20ac100 million ($108 million) in civil nuclear sector training, research, and innovation in alignment with President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s October 2021 unveiling of the \u201cFrance 2030\u201d investment plan, as well as his February 2022 call for a \u201crebirth of France\u2019s nuclear industry.\u201d (Among other things, Macron\u2019s envisioned rebirth includes the construction of at least six new nuclear reactors and life extensions for the country\u2019s existing units.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakdown<\/strong>: According to the ministry, funds will be allocated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
