towards complementarity between nuclear and renewable?

Emmanuel Macron will he press the nuclear button? This is a question that never ceases to circulate while the successive increases in energy that have occurred since the start of the school year require solutions for a large part of French people. For Etienne Lefebvre, editor-in-chief at Echoes, an announcement of this type could be made in the coming weeks: “The suspense is quite low“because, according to the latest RTE report, which calls for a return to nuclear power, this is important”to emit less CO2“, without counting that it presents a”economic interest” certain.

“Today, when there is no wind or sun, you need a supplement“, believes Christophe Ramaux, member of the appalled Economists and teacher at La Sorbonne. Nuclear power should therefore be conserved and used when renewable energies are unable to produce, constrained – among other things – by the weather. It remains to be seen whether the delay taken by the executive will be remedied in the event of the opening of new EPRs.
