The Onagawa nuclear plant, albeit more exposed, resisted thanks to a single man (Yanosuke Hirai), deciding in conscience, and the Big Complicated System of Central Authority "controlling everything" failed miserably at Fukushima.

'chronic' ("runs a command quietly unless it fails") is quite useful.

Not sure it is necessary as the captive crow may communicate it status (croaking "I'm trapped" or "I'm free") with this one, but it would be an insight.

We should establish that the crow would only 'attack' any human living in this flat (and neglect any other human walking by this back alley).

The point is about total cost, and considering all public money invested the French nuclearization isn't a cheaper way. Just compare tax pressure in France and Germany, and their public fundings for the grid. Moreover in case of any m
