The options in the '70s were much different from those of today. And for France specifically what they have underground (lots of uranium, no oil, no gas & no coal) strongly suggested exactly one way forward.
Wind and solar existed in the 70s as well.
Plus, Germany invested 500 billion Euros in its energy transition and is STILL heavily dependent on coal.
