I wonder how one measures "over-regulation" in a serious way here.
The examples I've seen either come from opinions of certain individuals and the accompanying lobby groups or by setting it next to other regulations from countries which are famous for infrastructural disasters (see China).
- fwlr 4y agoIt’s extraordinarily hard! Often in trying to analyze some complex system I have found it’s much more tractable to implement the system and analyze the results (e.g. a montecarlo sim of dice-rolling rather than trying to do the math). Likewise, a tractable way to measure over-regulation might be to simply do nuclear in a limited low-regulation area and draw conclusions from that.
- nukeman 4y agoLike fwir said, it’s difficult to determine what regulations are and aren’t needed. But one example: in the U.S., automatic load following equipment for nuclear power plants are prohibited, so load following needs to be done manually. Whereas in France, this equipment is allowed, and very important, given nuclear makes up a much larger proportion of their grid (and tends to load follow more).
