MODERATORS
Japan doesn't have coal, so no domestic coal lobby. And they also don't have a dominant fossil fuel supplier who has infiltrated their society.
The German bitching about nuclear is funded by the German coal lobby and Russian oil/gas lobby.
For the EU as a whole, it's best to ignore Germany on nuclear energy. Their civil discourse is bonkers and filled with falsehoods.
France is surprisingly nuclearized despite Total
They panicked in the 70's over the oil crisis and realized their west African colonies had lots of uranium so they went hard into nuclear power
Shitty journey, lucky destination.
When Total (Elf Aquitaine at the time) started spending billions to buy "sniffing planes" that could "sniff" oil under the ground the French government might have decided that needed a plan B.
kept me wondering too
