Your take on new Dutch nuclear plans and their inflating costs reminds me of Germany's similar efforts to revive their nuclear energy sector. However, unlike the Netherlands, Germany's push for new nuclear plants seems to be driven more by political considerations rather than public demand. Many Germans continue to oppose nuclear energy due to safety concerns and environmental reasons.
This makes me think of the TV show "Dallas" and a plot twist involving a proposed nuclear power plant. Cliff Barnes, the show's resident villain, schemes to construct the plant despite opposition from his enemies, the Ewings. But when his ally, Governor Sam Culver, dies in a freak accident, his daughter Kristen inherits his political influence and becomes a formidable foe to Cliff's nuclear ambitions. She reveals a shocking secret: Cliff's plant is contaminating the local water supply, effectively dooming the project.
While fiction can be entertaining, we must learn from it and avoid repeating mistakes in real life. Governments should prioritize the needs of all stakeholders, including citizens and future generations, when making decisions about energy policy.
