Germany Solar and Wind is Triple the Cost of France’s Nuclear and Will Last Half as Long

The electricity sector in France is dominated by nuclear power, which accounted for 72.3% of total production in 2016, while renewables and fossil fuels accounted for 17.8% and 8.6%, respectively.[1] France has the largest share of nuclear electricity in the world. France's electrical grid is part of the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe and it is among the world's biggest net exporters of electricity. The French nuclear power sector is almost entirely owned by the French government and the degree of the government subsidy is difficult to ascertain because of a lack of transparency.[2]

Don't think they aren't generating waste cause it's been revealed there will be mountains of it with no good way to recycle it yet..
 
Question: If Germany will have 60 million e-cars and 40 million households heating with electricity, how many additional windmills do we need?
 
The French get some things right, the world should learn from France's nuclear energy program.

The Germans are hysterical about nuclear.

After Chernobyl.
It's not that difficult. Don't build a nuclear reactor without a containment building (Chernobyl) and don't build a nuclear reactor in a flood zone (Fukishima).

Wind, $28 per MW, Nuclear, $118 per $/MWh. That is without subsidies.

Wind can never be a viable option for large scale generation in a power grid. It’s total lack of the ability to ramp up generation at any given time disqualifies it as a primary source of power. You can’t power an entire grid at peak hours if there is no wind.

Same goes for solar, it can’t power up anything after sundown or if it’s cloudy/raining during the day. So “cost per mw” is irrelevant.
