- paulddraper 3y agoThose are huge gains for only three years
- tpmx 3y agoYeah. Quite dramatic. Thanks, Vladimir Putin, for your continued efforts to make the world use less (Russian) fossil fuels.
- chrisco255 3y agoGreat news, let's finally agree on something and ship it.
- asynchronous 3y agoDon’t worry, we won’t for whatever reason.
- dotnet00 3y agoIt's a short time difference, but I wonder how much of it can be attributed to a shift in the generation being interviewed, since I'd imagine that younger people are more in favor of nuclear power than older people who might still have qualms associated with disasters they might've seen reporting on (regardless of how rational those concerns might be).
