France

With all the news stories about energy floating around, the situation in France is rarely mentioned. France gets 67% of its energy from some 56 nuclear reactors and they have been energy exporters for 30 years. France currently has plans to build 6 more nuclear reactors. Europe is currently facing an energy shortage because of the loss of Russian gas but France is better able to weather the storm because of its nuclear power. In other European countries the electricity cost is two or three times greater than in France. There is a lesson here if people want to see it.
