get rid of berlu, and nuclear wouldn't stand a chance here.
it boggles my mind that you see it that way, why does the right always endorse top down energy policies, and undermine ecological alternatives?
because they know the people would prefer conserve, not take any more risks on the future, and invest in tech with no downside, and that's why cover-ups and outright lies are the norm for them, but people are a lot less credulous than the old 'atoms for peace' or 'energy too cheap to meter' days.
italians can't run anything, you want them running nuke plants a few hundred miles from you?
come see how they deal with their regular waste, and tell me you want them to be responsible for the nuclear variety.
the mafia will be selling shit to any moron with a death wish and a few million to spend, the cops will find a 'dirty' bomb (not those nice 'clean' ones) factory somewhere, and it's sayonara civil rights and society as we know it, welcome to the new lockdown, same as the old lockdown, but with much better tech.
i'd wager the people will not go willingly down that road, we'll have to wait and see... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
The nuclear energy farrago is yet another occasion of rampant corruption.
The mafias have enormous wealth that needs recycling. Energy is just another business venture with laws tailor-made to encourage corruption and impunity.
