Spending 19 billion € over 18 years to build 1.65GW Flamanville 3 is not quite obvious to me.

Edit: compare this with China: they added 315 GW of Solar capacity in a single year (2025; see page 34 of the PDF).

(You can't compare nameplate capacity directly, but it can be safely assumed that 2 orders of magnitude more is ... actually more)
