And thanks to Trump, the US is perfectly placed to be entirely left behind.

Not only the US , Germany is also far behind

don't worry, you can start shutting down france's nuclear generators once you run out of your own

They are already shutting it down on their own due to recent heatwaves raising the temps of the water used to cool down their reactors

Just use solar panels to power the ac to cool the water that makes the nuclear. Bonus points for floating solar arrays that cool the panels while shading the cooling water.

Extra bonus: you get to blame perfectly functional renewables when nuclear fails.

Which is an ecological measure, not a technical one, and can be circumvented by existing technologies like cooling towers
