>That doesn't follow at all from your article, which is about the US. You can't just extrapolate from a different country

This is FUD.

You absolutely can if you are discussing orders of magnitude which we were.

Our fundamental disagreement wasnt about whether it was 8x fengnings or 6.5x but rather whether it was of the order of 65 or 6.5.

>It's not like it's impossible - France went all in on a nuclear grid.

Not impossible, just at great expense and it wasnt worth it. In 5 years less of France's electricity will be nuclear than it is now while still spending vast sums on new plants. They're officially hoping renewables will make up the difference.
