Yet, the nuclear demise now seems to confine to a simple refusal of building new reactors due to a strong will to protect manufacturer's interests. Actually, Germany wants to preserve its competitiveness and its energy sovereignty, and accordingly becomes aware of the uneasiness to do without nuclear electricity. So pragmatism prevails and the long term solution points to a combination of renewable and nuclear energies. For now, that German trend has not really influenced French views on that topic. But that could change as France, a strong nuclear proponent, is also more and more concemed with renewable energies. A cooperation between both countries is certainly conceivable.
