Really cheap electricity can be achieved with nuclear everywhere in the world.

Making the same errors we made in France are not a mandatory thing. What is happening right now is not because nuclear was the wrong choice, but because we stopped investing in it during decades and so we are now stuck with this corrosion issue everywhere because all our power plants aged in parallel and so, issues relative to aging happens in parallel.

It’s a sad state because this corrosion issue is said to be easily solvable … as long as you don’t have dozens of reactors to fix in parallel before the winter.

sure, in abstract, but we're talking of the EU in 12 years.

I think the discussion is not meaningful anyway: the stop to ICE vehicles sales in 2035 does not mean the whole continent will stop having them.
