They still are 50 billion euros in debt: https://www.edf.fr/en/2025-annual-results
Also they need to invest $542 billion by 2040. They have mostly 30 years old reactors which need a lot of maintenance. And they now have to compete with solar/wind.

I understand your position as: Germany has expensive energy because they are stupid and abandoned nuclear power.
While abandoning nuclear power before coal was certainly a bad idea climatewise (i’m even with you calling this idiotic, thank you Merkel), coal is not more expensive than nuclear.
The 20 cent/kWh the french have on their electricity bill is not an honest price. The operator EDF is state owned and constantly loosing money the state then has to put in again, so the they also pay with taxes for their electricity.
Also the more renewables are in the mix the less economic nuclear becomes. Nuclear is good when it can run 24/7 but not when it has to constantly change its output or event has to be turned off during the day.
Coal is a fossil fuel. Gas is expensive atm because of the US/Israel war. Thats why they now want to use coal more. Its (a lot) worse for the climate, worse for health but cheaper. Actually quite capitalist of them…
Or what do you mean with fossil fuel plants? Diesel generators?
then why does the state always have to subsidize nuclear power? dont scream at us.

long live space race!
USA, Russia, China, North Korea are already working together in Ukraine. Now they are in Iran, again trying to undermine the US and its partners. Taiwan and other Indo-Pacific targets could be next.

Remember they claim they fight this war to liberate the (in their view russian) people of Kherson which is on their maps a part of russia.
Think of this the next time someone parrots their bullshit.
