I'm not inclined to sing the praises of Macron (he is currently engaged in buggering up my retirement prospects) but on energy, he has pivoted / flip-flopped to renewables in a big way. Crisis = opportunity.

He has already committed us to building new nukes, but that is a decade away (in wildly optimistic mode) from having any impact. Offshore wind can come on line in a big way in a few years, and solar can ramp up even quicker.
