EU IS THE REASON BEHIND THE HIGH GAS AND ELECTRIC PRICES IN FRANCE-
Many french residents living in the country have mentioned that the reason behind their suffering is the EU. However, France doesn't rely on Russian gas, Their energy is almost totally nuclear. But, because of the EU, they can't use their nuclear power plants. As it would be an "unfair advantage" and "contrary to European free competition in the trade union". So people are forced to pay nuclear energy owned by France the same price as Germans pay for Russian gas to "keep a healthy balance in the EU".
EDF a french company that supplies gas and electricity to homes and businesses in France announced it wasn't able to restart nuclear plants, and as a result, electricity prices have also climbed once again. French consumers are protected until 2023 by the "price shield" which makes the government pay for the difference between normal prices and actual prices.
