French Government’s Deception on Deadly Tricastin Spill

I know France has come to rely on nuclear power more than any other industrialized nation. Unfortunately, with the hunt for alternatives to fossil fuels begun, nuclear power will be trotted out with a lot of greenwash support.
Why France can’t deploy a more environmentally friendly source of energy is beyond me. Now of course there’s some pain in change, but France is also experience considerable irreversible consequences by using so much nuclear power. Accidents appear to be happening more frequently, with the government covering up with media malfeasance.
I hope downwinders are prepared with Potassium Iodine. Also, the true costs of nuclear power need to be confronted. If France is going to participate in the Green Revolution, it needs to look to new sources of energy. Of course there are cleaner alternatives, safer, and not as costly.
