Macron goes “Full nuke” to become “Green”, and he will not be the only one …

Nuclear power officially returns to be part of President Emmanuel Macron's plan to make France the "Green Leader" by 2030.

The country is examining the idea of ​​building a multiplicity of small and modular nuclear reactors, and this should allow Paris to become the leader in the production of "Green", or "Red" hydrogen, as nuclear power is commonly referred to.

"We must lead the battle of innovation and industrialization at the same time," the French president said at a meeting of entrepreneurs and young entrepreneurs, unveiling plans to invest 30 billion euros to "reindustrialize" France, Macron said in observations, according to France 24 .

Widely regarded as the drafting of its re-election plan, Macron said France will build "a low-carbon plane, a small modular reactor and two mega-factories for green hydrogen production" by 2030.

He called his plans "France 2030" and said they would benefit small startup businesses in space.

Speaking of the continuing shortcomings in the supply chain, he said: “We need to rebuild a framework to ensure the productive independence of France and Europe. The winner takes it all ”.

Macron seems to adopt the attitude of countries like Finland and Japan, which are re-evaluating the idea of ​​investing in nuclear power and in a massive way. Finland, we noted today, is officially lobbying the EU to obtain "sustainable" status for nuclear energy.

Last month, we pointed out when shares in Japanese utility companies rose after Taro Kono, the minister of administrative reform and the most likely candidate to replace Yoshihide Suga as prime minister, said Japan needs to restart. nuclear power plants, in order to achieve its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Meanwhile Germany is blocked by its useless wind turbines in the North Sea and Italy has no idea which way to go. Even Draghi seems confused, in the end the money from the PNRR will certainly not be used for the improvement of green production. Paradoxically, the "Greens" and Greta will lead to the boom of the form of energy that most fought in the 70s, 80s and 90s: the atom.
