That is why France (where 75% of the electrical capacity is generated by nuclear power) is a model of corporate welfare

Yep, it actually is. Their electric utility company (EDF) is state-owned and state-subsidised.

and is a poster child for cost ineffective electrical power generation

Their nuclear power plants are not completely paid for yet and right now no money is provisioned for decomission.
The 75% electrical capacity is also quite misleading, because French nuclear power plants also only have a 75% availability - which is pretty low by worldwide standards - so their part in the fuel mix is lower.
France also has barely any reserves, so if their nuclear power plants have to be shut down due to heat, they have to buy a lot of power from their neighbours and when it is very cold, they also need to import a lot of power.
So yes, inefficient and not cost-effective without massive subsidies.

has more nuclear waste than they know what to do with

France has no idea what to do with long term waste storage since they only have a temporary storage facility (Centre de stockage de l'Aube) that is good for 60 years. There are no plans beyond that.

Oh wait, it is none of those things.

It is all of those things. But it also makes France quite independent from foreign energy sources, which was the whole point of the Messmer plan.

The carbon footprint of a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel – the average level of greenhouse gas emissions it is responsible for over its lifetime – is about 72 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalent per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated (gCO2e/kWh) .

According to EDF, the carbon footprint of a nuclear power station – the average level of greenhouse gas emissions it is responsible for over its lifetime, from construction to decommissioning – is about 16 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalent for each kilowatt-hour of electricity it generates (gCO2e/kWh).

Now that is interesting.
From the same web site, we see the carbon footprint for solar cells is 4.5 times greater than that of a nuke.

Eat your humble pie, ignorant idiot, don't come back unless it is to correct your post

From Telegraph:

EDF expects to miss its own deadline for deciding whether to build Britain’s first new nuclear plant in a generation, the Telegraph can disclose.

The French energy giant announced in October that it planned to take a final investment decision on the £16bn Hinkley Point C plant by July, after striking a landmark subsidy deal with government.

But it now believes that an ongoing European Commission investigation into whether the subsidies are illegal state aid will not be fully resolved until autumn, forcing its decision on the Somerset plant back until then.

The delay could threaten EDF’s plans to deliver first power from the plant in 2023 – a timescale it had said was “subject to a final investment decision by July 2014”.

EDF has been at pains to insist it can deliver Hinkley “on time and on budget”, despite its Flamanville reactor in France being dogged by cost blowouts and years of delays.

From EDF:

6 May 14
Phase II preparatory works begin on site

At this phase of the project these works help to prepare the site ahead of the main construction following a final investment decision. These initial works include the construction of roundabouts, temporary construction roads and drainage works, all of which are reversible. Visit our community hub to see the planned works.

They appear to be building housing and beefing up the roads, but a final investment decision appears to have been postponed.

A number of people have replied giving their typical electricity bill.

The problem with this is that you can't compare on the basis of what a person's electricity bill is, because there are all sorts of lifestyle factors that impact the bill but aren't included when you hear "I pay £N/month". For instance, if you're in Texas, I'll assume you probably have air conditioning in your house and it frequently runs during the summer months? Not really necessary in the UK, since it seldom goes above 30 Celsius (about 86 Fahrenheit) and that's a very hot day for most of us.

Now, onto the useful stuff: price per kilowatt hour. My energy supplier is EDF, their current price chart is here (warning: PDF). Ignore the "excluding VAT" prices on the first page, every individual pays VAT.
