France €0.1765 per kWh 57.3 gCO2/KWh (2019) | Germany €0.3159 (+76.9%) per kWh 468 (+816%) gCO2/KWh (2019)

Seems the success is very clearly visible both environmentally and economically?

Correlation is not causation

??? we're talking about the economic cost and carbon output of energy vs. how it is generated. Do you think there's some other common factor that explains France using lots of nuclear power and having a low carbon footprint and energy costs?

Household energy prices don't really tell us much about the production costs though.

I think there are may be factors for Germany having high energy prices.
