Another European country is giving the green light to nuclear power. Finland, Sweden, and Poland have either opened new plants or they plan to.
Now, France moved to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants three months ago. This reverses their course set in 2014 to back off from nuclear. Political opposition came from the Greens, the radical left, and some Communists.
The bill cut about two years from the process by simplifying administrative procedures and documentation that precedes construction. But construction still won't begin until 2027.
"Energy Transition Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher assured left-wing [opposed] MPs that “voting against renewable energy and nuclear power is voting for fossil fuels. It is a vote for global warming.”
