France To Invest One Billion Euros In Nuclear Power
An anonymous reader writes "France will invest one billion euros in future nuclear power development while boosting research into security, President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday."
The Guardian has a more detailed article. It's not a huge investment, but it is nice to see continued commitment to Generation IV reactors by at least one Western country.

If it's only chomp change, where is the 1 billion euro for solar?
Please, the pro-nuke lobby has received enough indulgence.
Yep. Spend a billion Euro now, get a nice return on that from Germany and Italy, because they can't meet energy demands.
What happens when France becomes a majority Islamic country and the USA takes away their nukes? I'm not trying to troll here, its a serious concern that their capital expenditures seem to be colliding with their combination of demographics and the geopolitical environment.

Funny how the pro-U.S. candidate always seems to win, and people who cross the U.S. always seem to end up on rape charges. In a completely unrelated story, did you hear that the ICC decided today to prosecute Moammar Gadhafi for rape? Apparently some new evidence has come in recently linking him and his allies to all sorts of nasty sex crimes. Guess he was a womanizer too.
