While they did well environmental to produce this and even from a cost to consumer, there are many hidden costs to the power produced which will test France in the coming years as their fleet of reactors and the coming debt-to-gdp crisis means the tens of billions required to overhaul it might be tough to subsidize.

debt-to-gdp crisis

is not an actual crisis, money on those political levels doesn't work the same way as it would for households.
