CNN acted pretty much the same way over Brexit, and would have acted the same way if they believed that Trump would probably win in 2016 (not that anyone really believed he was going to win). If Le Pen wins, she said she would immediately pull France from the EU. Would that be enough to collapse the Euro altogether?

We need changes in Europe and the Union but we should not destroy it. We would go back 100 years and back into Nationalism, which ended horribly for Europe and the world. Let's hope Obi-Wan Macroni saves us, although I hope we'll get some bigger changes with him in Europe and France.

France currently gets 75% of their electricity from Nuclear, making them the highest percent nuclear and lowest carbon footprint developed nation (depending on what you count as "developed" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions). Macron wants to cut back to 50% and double renewables which will result in either an increase in CO2 or an unrealistic prediction on energy use reduction. http://euanmearns.com/can-france-go-to-50-nuclear/

Before we get to hear any Americans with their deep insight into European politics.
