This development is probably only feasible because UK left EU. EU has too much debate going on to be pragmatic about solving the climate challenge. They are blind with renewables (which are all good, but will take 3x or 4x more decades to develop) to actually fix the climate.

The EU helps to fund the sarcophagus built around Chernobyl:

Which might account for why they are reticent about nuclear.

Oh yeah, blame "nuclear", the science, for a mistake of a socialist regime.

* One one side no regulation, people living in fear of their superiors, money being drawn and sent to compete on the race to the moon and other reasons. * On the other side "nuclear", which is based on science, and had about 6 decades of evolution in safety, regulations, etc. since Chernobyl was first built.

That was exactly what I was referring to when I said the EU is blind to science. And, yes, I read 2 papers and watched many videos, as well as follow the news for about the last 5 years of the safe confinement construction. I still hold the same opinion as my original comment.
