Readit NewsFrance did shut down superphenix for completely ideological reasons tho.
Also stopped investing in nuclear but that was not really ideological (the nuclear buildup originated in something of a misprediction, and sadly the country didn’t really capitalise on it).
There are good reasons to question renewable energy: the cost picture doesn't make sense right now, it has intermittency problems, etc. But killing renewable projects because, uh, farming or whatever?, particularly at a time when the demand for energy is growing faster than ever, seems short sighted at best.
Of course making sense does not in any way matter to this administration, and Trump hates wind turbines because of his dumb golf course, but still…
Paris’ RER is a mostly aboveground suburban rail network, it’s only underground when it reaches the city center. And it’s far from unique, that’s a common feature of commuter rail.
And while the metro is mostly underground, about 20km (out of 245) is aboveground.
unfortunately(?) modern browsers are turning more into these sandbox and state managers with a few lower-level rendering engines bolted together (JS driving the DOM, plus CSS and SVG and audio and video and font and various image codecs and ...)
and if people want to copy the raw data URL the site can show them, plus HTTP provides the Accept and other headers for content negotiation so in theory the URL can be the same.
Because it was privileged at the start and now it’s been a working feature you could rely on for a generation.

Can’t js your way into the browser opening an xml document and automatically applying the stylesheet as far as I know.
And yet they have no qualms shoving huge attack surfaces in the form of WebUSB, WebSerial, WebMIDI, WebTransport, WebBluetooth, WebKitchenSink, most of which have as much usage as XSLT: https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity... or https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity...
It’s that currently you can open an XML file (including feeds) with an associated stylesheet and the stylesheet gets applied, which can be used to render an HTML document on the client side from an xml source like a feed.
This makes absolutely no sense.
We could've had such a nice language. The efforts for a cleaner language and web platform API were there, but doctrine always said no because of legacy and people have moved on to alternatives now.
Then it had to postpone the closure of at least two reactors following the second invasion of Ukraine, and this year officially dropped the phaseout and opened the door for new builds (unlikely as they are).
