A tiny insignificant country with an even tinier electricity consumption has lifted a ban on nuclear energy. Maybe in 50 years they will decide to plan to look at some designa for choice of architecture of the council to investigate what kind of building that will house the council that will choose the reactor design.

A microscopic step towards sanity at the pace of a snail.

One small step towards energy independence, one giant leap towards becoming a nuclear armed state. :oP

Though I guess, dribs and drabs is more appropriate.

It seems that the delusion has subsided. You can’t electrify at the scale you want without nuclear. You can’t rely on wind and solar with the current storage technology, and a grid that was built for large dispatchable turbines. These are infrastructure projects about or likely more expensive than building nuclear power plants, with the caveat that no one has actually built one and the storage technology doesn’t exist.
