seems weird to me that neither candidate knew the answer to this.  both energy and the environment are basic issues, and they can't answer this question?

She had the right information. She just said "electricity" instead of energy, with the right number.

Also, she succeeded in making nuclear energy less important in the eyes of the public.  This is a solid effort.  The difference between energy/electricity is probably beyond the capacity of most anyhow and certainly beyond the interest of the vast majority.

I've been particularly fond of Royal's bold efforts against nuclear power.  This is something the French actually did right, has major international implications (her position vis-a-vis Iran) and yet she is willing to oppose, from an ecological standpoint, in order to encourage renewables.

Whatever happened to nuclear waste, anyway?
