What could go wrong?

"Career experts have been forced out and thousands of pages of regulations are being rewritten at a sprint. A new generation of nuclear energy companies — flush with Silicon Valley cash and boasting strong political connections — wield increasing influence over policy. Figures like Cohen are forcing a “move fast and break things” Silicon Valley ethos on one of the country’s most important regulators.'

《Eine Rückkehr der Atomenergie zu fordern, wie von der Leyen, Connemann oder Söder es tun, ist demnach nicht nur unwirtschaftlich, sondern in etwa so sinnvoll, als wollte man die Verkehrswende beenden, indem man das Aus vom Aus der Verbrennerfahrzeuge fordert.》

Environmentalists brand nuclear power reforms ‘risky path’

THE government is “walking a risky path” as it overhauls regulation to accelerate a new wave of nuclear power, environmental campaigners have warned.Energy Secretary Ed Miliband announced today the government’s intention to implement the recommendations of a Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce review led by former Office of Fair Trading chief executive John Fingleton.The review concluded that the process around commissioning new nuclear plants was “overly complex” and “bureaucratic” and held back growth in the industry by favouring process over safe outcomes.
