I have not noticed France becoming a police state or fascist or even a weensy bit less democratic

just give Sarkozy some time... I'm sure he'll be working on it :-)

The difference between theory and practise in practise ...

Sarkozy has nothing to do with nuclear - thus France's move to anything more authoritarian under Sarkozy will not be attributable to nuclear, which kind of proves our point that the two are not linked.

What if Sarko introduces more authoritarian ways with the argument of protecting nuclear facilities? (It happened in Germany.)

We'll discuss it if and when that happens. In the meantime, it is Greenpeace and the "Sortir du Nucléaire" group that regularly trumpet that French nuclear plants (or the new EPR) really are vulnerable to terrorism (the "I take the biggest plane around, load it with fuel and smash onto the reactor" kind) and thus unacceptable. So the fearmongering is not quite coming from where you'd expect...
