This is going to be a huge waste of time and money until we realize that building new nuclear power plants will be too expensive and too late, since we'll have figured out a renewable energy concept that'll handle the load by then. Instead we could also just join a French project, who have way more experience.

We should focus on extending our hydro power storage capacity instead.

There will be a referendum anyways, so I think it's unlikely the ban will actually be lifted.

Switzerland, Norway and Austria are probably the country that needs nuclear the less, but anything to start the discussion in other European countries is good. Probably not economically viable in Switzerland though.

They can always sell the electricity

It's far too expensive for that with how cheap renewables are making electricity. France is already struggling with that.
