Relying on both nuclear energy and renewable energies

This is the number of scenarios studied by the French electricity transmission system operator (Réseau de transport d’électricité, RTE) for France to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050: three scenarios involving a nuclear/ renewable energy mix and three 100% renewable scenarios. The scenarios that include nuclear energy are the least costly, entailing the least uncertainty, having the least impact in terms of land use and reclamation, and generating the least tension on certain essential resources such as critical metals. www.rte-france.com
