At least we might get some good things from the AI bubble.

Yes! Almost every human problem boils down to an energy problem. I welcome the future in which we have so much nuclear power (and other power sources) that electricity is too cheap to meter.

So what? The tech doesn't work well and the contractors have no knowledge of government contracting.

When I read this I am more convinced that Europe is done. With leaders like Kaja Kallis, Rutte and Ursula it's so blatantly visible that these people can't think further than one minute. It's really time for a breakup so countries are no longer chained to insanity. They are destroying themselves.

It seems Europe is living rent free in your head, maybe you should talk to a shrink.

I think that person is in the EU and certainly not living rent free!

But it is a very real concern that there seems to be a total lack of technology investment and innovation across Europe.

I wouldn’t be concerned, because this is obviously false.

yes, and hopefully all of them will be set up in his garden and his children kindergarten.

Because why somebody else should bear the risk of a nuclear disaster.

This is nonsense. State/society is the last backstop, the last resort insurer in nuclear risk. Why shall we insure nuclear risks so Mark gets richer with more clicks ? again socializing the costs and privatizing de profits.

Not in my backyard.

This kind of reactor is really hard to blow up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_reactor#Properties

(Disclaimer: most of my life I lived closer than 50 miles to various major nuclear plants.)

Maybe you're right. Maybe we should just continue to burn coal and let people die of black lung mining it and millions of people living in the pollution zone. Safe, clean energy is overrated.
