“If we were to relaunch nuclear power, we take it for generations”estimated this Wednesday on franceinfo Adrien Quatennens, coordinator of La France insoumise, while Emmanuel Macron is preparing to make announcements on the atom Thursday in Belfort. “The French nuclear fleet is coming to obsolescence. It has been programmed for a few decades and we are coming to the end, judges the LFI deputy from the North. It’s not an ideological choice that you have to make.”
“There is zero EPR in operation today in the world, we have reached the end nowhere. It’s a real ruin.”

Insubordinate France wants “planning for a nuclear phase-out”. “No one is saying that a country like France, which has put all its eggs in one basket, can snap its fingers out of it. It has to be decided politically. We have to bet fully on renewable energiesexplained Adrien Quatennens. The technologies exist but we have not developed them as we should have.” To get out of nuclear here “2045”as expected “the scenario” of the NégaWatt association, you need a “Radical rise in renewable energies, energy savings with the renovation of buildings. All the luminous panels that we see developing in the city, we must stop.”
Nuclear ➡️ “The French nuclear fleet is coming to obsolescence” judge Adrien Quatennens. “We have better things to do” than relaunch nuclear power. “Nobody says we’re going to snap our fingers out of this. We must organize an outing by betting thoroughly on renewable energies” pic.twitter.com/BIDgtWbQcU

Compared to EDF, “we have an urgent need, to save the company we need, to put an end to the mismanagement of the market and the wishes of the European Commission. What puts EDF in particular difficulty is the fact that the State compels the company to make energy produced by EDF available to its competitors in order to artificially create a market. Opening up to competition was supposed to reduce costs “but in reality the bill has increased. We need a large public energy center that controls the entire production chain, allows us to ensure low prices and make the ecological fork”insisted Adrien Quatennens.
Nuclear ➡️ “We are stuck on the negawatt scenario which has a horizon of 2045” says the deputy from the North, who pleads for a reduction in electricity consumption. Moreover, “there is an emergency”: “save EDF” and create “a major public energy pole”. pic.twitter.com/RoIckcWBnG
