> Meanwhile France is nearly 100% fossil free energy every single day of the year.

I think this is endemic of your comment, every "fact" is fallacy or false. France is not near 100% fossils fuel free, nuclear is not that great at getting to 100% and would require massive amounts of storage, just like renewables. Here's France's actual mix:

> The electricity sector in France is dominated by its nuclear power, which accounted for 71.7% of total production in 2018, while renewables and fossil fuels accounted for 21.3% and 7.1%, respectively[1] (compare to 72.3% nuclear, 17.8% renewables and 8.6% fossil fuels in 2016).
