It was inspired by natural gas prices that went 3x this winter and an article that said we (French citizen) pay our electricity much more than what it cost us to produce because our production is sold on the markets then sold back to us at an inflated price (deepl should offer an OK translation even if it might lose a bit of the humor :

You can't just delete nuclear, coal and natural gas power plants and think the invisible hand will provide. There is no secret plan behind: we're gonna crash then our politicians will blame the Russians and / or COVID but certainly not their incompetence.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to live in a polluted world more than anybody else, but I also want to take a hot shower daily without it being a luxury expense. We needed to think the transition and do it progressively before. Too late.
