“Why areGermans so jittery about an extremely expensive source of power, that continuously gets more expensive with time, that has long term effects the likes of which another strong engineering country is still dealing with 10 years after their disaster, that even if it does solve their immediate power solutions will never be a global solution because Germany along with the handful of existing nuclear nations will, by treaty, severely punish any other country that tried to become nuclear”.
So, to rephrase, why are Germans jittery about a terribly expensive solution that they and a few handful of other countries won’t even allow to be a solution for the vast majority of the world where most people actually live and which can at the drop of a hat blow up the entire planet.
I’m entirely convinced that if the US didn’t subsidize so many people’s nuclear engineering education we wouldn’t even be having this discussion because it’s almost entirely self serving nuclear engineers who keep demanding that we invest in the most expensive source of renewable energy instead of the myriad of cheaper options.
