Germany’s $500 Billion Mistake (The Green Energy Trap ): • Germany’s $500 Billion Mistake (The Green ... Why France is Winning the Energy War (and Germany is Losing)
While the rest of Europe scrambles for energy security, France just cashed a record-breaking €5 billion check by exporting power to its neighbors. In 2025, the verdict is in: the "French Model" is winning. But how did a country with no oil and no gas become the energy kingpin of the continent?
In this deep dive, we uncover the 50-year gamble that saved the French economy. From the historic 1974 Messmer Plan to the "Corrosion Crisis" of 2022 and the rise of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), we analyze how nuclear power allowed France to decouple from fossil fuels while Germany faces deindustrialization.
We explore the economics of EDF, the controversy of the Flamanville 3 reactor, and why tech giants are flocking to Paris for stable, low-carbon electricity.
In this video, we cover:
The Numbers: How France exports 89 TWh while Germany burns coal.
The History: Inside the secret 1974 plan to go 100% nuclear.
The Crisis: How EDF fixed the "corrosion" defects that nearly broke the grid.
The Future: Why SMRs and "Pink Hydrogen" are the next industrial revolution.
The Economics: Why French electricity bills remain stable while others skyrocket.
