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?

French nuclear power is run by EDF, which although 85% owned by the French government has “a mandate to make a profit for its shareholders”

But it still makes a profit and pays tax on it. https://www.edf.fr/sites/groupe/files/epresspack/7068/PR-FY-...
