They are not "pointless" by definition, as every new regulation increases safety, costs, and time. They do have an impact (for better or worse). haha That said, it's wrong to start from the assumption that because they exist,

In what way do you think Fukushima is a disaster? Reports often associate the Fukushima disaster with 0 or 1 deaths, which is an exceptionally low number that many would prefer in any "disaster." As for the environmental impact, y

Well, 216 GW of solar is in no way comparable to 20GW of nuclear. Capacity factor much higher, much more reliable + no storage needed. What's more, Chinese nuclear power is sometimes also used to heat homes. https://www.glob

Attributing deaths to nuclear power due to political choices makes no sense. These fatalities were completely unjustified and driven by baseless fears. Besides, what is the point of counting deaths? In Germany, an estimated 1,100 deaths per

I believe you are mostly right. However, I don't think the decline in battery prices is primarily due to the technologies used. Instead, it's more about economies of scale and demand, which help optimize prices. From my perspectiv
