> Also, they can do both, you know. I mean, if you have followed the politics of European space, sure, in a fantasy world they just have money to do everything. In reality they don't even want to spend a fraction of the money for either project. > Hydro is unsustainable and is not scalable. It's completely tapped out in developed nations Its not tapped out in Norway or Iceland but there is enough already, they don't need more. > Nuclear is unpopular, and apparently having serious problems in France currently. It has serious problem in France because the anti-nuclear forced tried to destroy nuclear for the last 10 years and deliberately stopped investing and maintaining. They want to force the reduction of nuclear. Arguable nuclear has been politically embattled for much longer. And whatever problem nuclear might have, compared to the problems of space solar its a small problem.
