I talked to an engineer from one of the nuclear startups and they didn't give a shit about whether you could do nuclear power in Denmark. The most important thing for them was long term policies so industry can make long term plans and investments.

and is expected to double again in the next 20. It is now one of the fastest-growing neurological disorders in the world, outpacing stroke and multiple sclerosis
Why is it expected to double again? How can you make that prediction when you aren't sure why it doubled in the first place. Unless it's more prevalent because people live longer and you expect people to live even longer in the future (we can have pretty good modelling of this).
Is it the growth that's greater than the growth of stroke and MS or is Parkinson's more common than those diseases? Seems unclear. If it's growth then how is it relevant? Is stroke and MS case load growing at an alarming rate?
Doesn't it seem weird that they don't see an increased Parkinson's rate in farmers? Asbestos was identified as a danger because it killed the miners and craftsmen working with it.

All true but at the same time EU countries has paid more money to Russia for fossil fuels than they have spent on supporting Ukraine.

At least this one is on the coast so it can still run when the rivers dry up.
But holy shitsnacks 3½ times slower than planned and 4 times more expensive. No wonder no new nuclear power plants have been built in a generation when the ones coming online now were all delayed by a generation.
