See:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1285456/As-Nick-Cleggs-Spanish-wife-gets-job-Madrid-wind-farm-firm-targeting-Britain-man-pens-irate-letter.html. With regard to France and nuclear power, Areva's CEO, Anne Lauvergeon, gave a recent interview in New York to Charlie Rose. At the end,she wrapped arguments for nuclear with support for wind and solar technologies--renewables--animated by investment in battery storage. SOS. This kind of rhetorical pandering rhymes with the PR effort of the natural gas industry, which has stridently over the last year promoted natural gas as an enabler of "renewables." This kind of nonsense is precisely what sustains the political interest in renewables today in the USA.
