Well, what is there to say given the state of Flamanville 3? Currently sitting at ~ €13 B compared to the initial estimate of €3.3 B. With a tentative start date for end of 2023.

All the while EDF is being nationalized. Should more money have been spent in even deeper pits?

If we want electricity in a world without less fossil fuels, I'd say yes.

EDIT: renewable can't be the only solution. They are cheap only because they are built on top of existing nuclear/fossil solutions.

Renewables already fill that gap at vastly lower costs. Unless you specify that you're one of the about a million people living north of the arctic circle, then sure, do whatever you need.
