Who would "they" be in that case? The people who'd like cheap energy do indeed need storage. The nuclear lobbies on the other hand need to cripple their competition, so they only need their own, already present facilities and whatever means they can get to sabotage upcoming competition and secure their primary position.

The French? Read the article or the comments I was responding to. ๐Ÿซฐ

"The French"? The homogenous singular entity that all have one singular set of goals and no differences whatsoever? Or the Frrench people who'd like cheap energy or maybe the French electricity lobbyists? It's not that simple.

The people who live in France who are having this issue with power, as explained in the article and in the comments.

Seems you're bored and just attempting to inflame people into discussing how my comment was in no way reductive or trying to represent people in a way they didn't wish to be. Go touch grass.

Oh no. Now I've angered the humans.

Apparently, just yourself. Nobody is angry.

Earth's mammals seemed to be pretty upset that I suggested the existence of multiple groups with multiple priorities within the French.

I don't dare to. The entirety of life in the universe seems to be cross with me.
