I stated quite clearly that not every regulation is bad. But it seems that you want to hear that every decision made by the EU is right. I'm sorry, but I'm not a religious person. And I think self-criticism is a great privilege of

I disagree. The need for regulation in this case stems from a lack of competition. Regulations are empirical decisions, based on a very limited amount of data, whose implications can be endless. Regulations are a shortcut capable of poisoni

Oh wonderful. I hope you can find time to read it! Umberto Eco was one of the most important modern Italian philosophers. I love his pragmatic and rational approach.

These are lies you tell yourself and how you want people to see you. In a past discussion, you concluded by saying that those who support nuclear energy also support fossil fuels. These are your ideological premises; you don't care abo

Umberto Eco had already discussed this extensively in his paper “the combinatorics of creativity”. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the English version, but it should be very easy to translate, it's only 16 pages. http://

The damage caused by these regulators and media terrorism is far greater than the benefits. As another user wrote, a few meltdowns would have been much better than the total freeze of plant construction and its price increase. This is one

I don't understand this renewable vs. nuclear rhetoric, when the comparison should be made with clean vs. fossil sources. But as always humanity manages to get lost in a glass of water.

This is not an argument. Good investment in any sector requires diversification. The IPCC 1.5°C report published late in 2018 presents 89 mitigation scenarios in which nuclear generation grows on average 2.5 times from today’s level by 2050

Yes, forgive me, I'm talking worldwide. "A 2020 report by IRENA9 tracked some $634 billion in energy-sector subsidies in 2020, and found that around 70% went to fossil fuels. Only 20% went to renewable power generation, 6% to biof
