Wait, I would describe nuclear energy as a case of the engineers saying yes, and the administrators (politicians) saying no - what are you arguing?

- pgeorgi 8y agoAdministrators showed a lack of interest in supporting nuclear energy designs that don't come with "weapon grade" by-products since the 1950s, even if they're potentially safer. That's a somewhat different scenario (scientists saying "yes, but" and administrators saying "hell, yes!"), but it's still pretty interesting to see what the push for nuclear power (eg. France's strategic reliance on it, UK's new reactor that is dead on arrival economically, or Iran's interest in obtaining the means) is really about. On the other hand, China and India apparently were looking into building systems that are safer with no weapon grade by-products.
