nuclear is practically the only option to completly decarbonize our energy not only electricy but transport , heat and industry , renwebles can't produce energy continuosly and are more expensive than nucleare so they can't be use to totaly decarbonize even electrity
> That cost is not reflected in current electric rates
nope ''In fact, the carbon-intensity of French electricity has increased. After years of subsidies for solar and wind, France’s 2017 emissions of 68g/CO2 per kWh was higher than any year between 2012 and 2016.
The reason? Record-breaking wind and solar production did not make up for falling nuclear energy output and higher natural gas consumption. And now, the high cost of renewable electricity is showing up in French household electricity bills.
According to Eurostat, although French households pay 41% less than German households, electricity in France has, over the past decade, been increasing in price much faster than electricity in Germany.''
