Ideally it shouldn't be the case that something like building a power plant to produce electricity shouldn't require political will; just willing investors and operators who desire to make a profit.
- layer8 3y agoThe lack of willing investors might indicate that they are doubtful about the profitability.
- prottog 3y agoAbsolutely true, but the profitability is likely affected precisely by government policy.
- brohee 3y agoBy policy, over the next 80 years.
- layer8 3y agoWell, surely the government can’t allow anyone to just build a nuclear power plant, so some policies are required. I can’t judge how reasonable or unreasonable the current ones are. But I can imagine for reasonable policies to be unprofitable without government subsidies, and that would require political will.
