    But luckily Germany saved the world by shutting down their power plants for good

      Yeah, that's exactly when all the semiconductor industry left Germany! And why France - the only country that's close to fully nuclear - is the industrial power house of the world. Stay shallow, HN.

        France the industrial power house of the world? No.

        It does well for itself and Europe but there are several US states that have a larger GDP and industrial output than France does.

          That's the point. France has 70%+ nuclear energy in the mix, but isn't the economic miracle that nuclear power is supposed to bring.
