    More deranged doublethink.

    ARENH can’t be causing losses if the price it sets is profitable (so by citing it you are claiming that the french nuclear fleet has never broken even).

    It also can’t be causing a production shortfall requiring buying expensive hydro if the reactors are off because of a “strategy”.

    Your debt doesn’t go up every year if you’re making a profit.

    Deferring maintenance doesn’t make costs magically vanish.

    Decomissioning, waste management and hundreds of billions for license extensions are also completely unfunded. So the french people were just bilked another €10 billion for taking on a larger share of a half trillion dollar liability.
