That’s kind of hilarious considering the French electricity sector is one of the least carbon-intensive in Europe due to their use of low-carbon nuclear energy.

So France set a goal, missed the goal and now it’s tax payers are having to buy electricity from other “greener” countries for the sum of $500 million. Seems like the tax payers got the short end of the stick. If they are already able to produce the energy they should, instead they dip into their citizens pockets to buy electricity from other countries at a higher rate. Punishing themselves for missing a goal set by themselves.
Some people should go to prison for wasting taxpayer’s money.
