Are you this dense and uninformed on purpose, or are you just trolling us? I’ll apologies for that remark, it does not contribute to the discussion, though your points are rather misinformed.

France has a lot of old plants who will be at their end of life after some 50 years of service.

The exact same thing you just said also counts for windmills. Contrary to popular belief, windmills do not last forever and will need to be rebuilt or deconstructed at the latest after some 30 years.

Does this mean that windmills do not work because they aren’t perpetual machines? No! There’s a myriad of problems with wind and solar, but them having a finite lifespan is very normal.

France has a lot of nuclear plants not producing electricity and is importing electricity like crazy.
It’s not 4 plants being shut down because they are old. Its plants shut down because they have corrosion. And the Water required for cooling isnt sufficient.
Windmills dont need to be completely replaced. they are not shut down forever after 30 years. they will just have their parts replaced. For a tiny fraction of the price of a new nuclear plant.
