What I never understood was how France gets 70-75% of their electricity from Nuclear, yet their energy prices aren't "too cheap to meter", and while cheaper than their neighbors, don't really raise any eyebrows. Wouldn't this be a major example of why Nuclear is NOT the future?

I'm confused. The way you've phrased this certainly doesn't sound like it couldn't be the future.

I've heard for years that if we just had "tons" of Nuclear plants, our energy costs would essentially be too cheap to meter. Yet France is not experiencing this even at 75% Nuclear.

Presumably once it gets cheap enough it becomes profitable to sell it internationally which caps the price?

Besides, you still have to pay back for the construction and the fuel, it's never gonna be free.
