@johannbg No, all our nuclear plants are running, but at the same time we haven't been able to start a construction of another one in the last 25 years because of NIMBY. We haven't even been able to pick a location of the permanent used fuel storage because of NIMBY.

@sesivany this new thorium based Gen 4 nuclear technology makes nuclear reactors inherently safe, which in turn makes any sort of NIMBY arguments mute really. ( China is about to put those into commercial ships ) And without abundance of cheap electricity, no country in Europe will be able to compete with East Asia on industrial level so that mindset needs to change for future generations. In China they are already moving into factory/dc sized, mobile & ocean/floating platforms solutions.
