Electrifying uses while slowing down on renewable energies, France's paradoxical policy

The French government is pushing for electrification through incentives for electric vehicles and heat pumps, while the renewable energy sector expresses concerns over a slowdown and potential job losses. With nuclear energy covering 70% of electricity needs, new reactors won't be operational until the 2040s. This situation raises questions about France's commitment to reducing oil and gas consumption while hindering renewable energy development, contrasting with global trends. The rapid changes in the sector and political indecision contribute to this paradox, leaving the renewable industry at risk.
