    yeah, for some reason the public is just incredibly apprehensive about anything that would be beneficial if it might even moderately inconvenience them. I will never not be amused by the time that germany shut down a brand new nuclear plant before it even went online. I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my life, but burning millions, potentially even billions of dollars is not one of them. Not yet at least.

        that reactor being shut down was back during the nuclear energy ban germany had. This was well before the current global climate, doesn’t make it a sound financial choice though.
