Polls find strong support for nuclear in UK and Switzerland
Unfortunately a few years before the recent issues a totally idiotic anti-nuclear popular vote happen. The campaign was driven by poor fear and just utter nonsense.
Basically it was so absurdly anti nuclear, even banning research.<p>Switzerland has some of the oldest nuclear plants but they still work great. We should have been building more for many decades now. Unfortunately our idiot politicians literally had the attitude that it was just so cheap and easy to import electricity from Germany and France.<p>I have been hoping for new nuclear builds in Switzerland for decades, but I was crushed when we voted on this and banned everything. Nuclear is perfect for Switzerland, during the day it can power the grid and at night we can use the hydro for storage.<p>I really hope some party tries to reverse this and advocates for building a new modern nuclear plant. Switzerland was once a leader in nuclear technology and we should be again.
