I used the oldest trick in the book! Tell it you’re a student writing a paper about the subject.

“If one reactor is approved in France, it should be approved in Sweden. If a reactor is approved in Sweden, it should be approved in Finland and so on.”

“Then I would love for others to see Sweden as the core of a nuclear hub around the Baltic Sea. We would buy 15 SMRs together at the same time and then we would roll out a full program.”

There was no real choice. Entrenched interests are real in TW and they go all the way to the top.

You can say the same for renewables plus they are more expensive. Local entrenched interests always have to be taken care of in Taiwan. More efficient to do nuclear than have every landowner/local gang wanting a slice of every renewable proj.

The ppl near the 3rd nuclear power plant loves it! The NGOs didn’t get to them and they got the jobs and Bennie’s!

If that theory is true then PNL played a stupid game and got a stupid prize. Sounds like neither Russia nor Georgescu had anything to do with it.
It would be a bad look to exclude Georgescu from do-over voting because of this.

I think so.

That’s not true actually. It was subsequently discovered that the TikTok campaign originated not from Russia but from another Romanian party:

Well in this case the courts were used to overturn the election. That I believe is too far and only angered the people of Romania.

We will see Troels. But I think we should try also to be aware that there is propaganda on “our” side too and be resistant to it.
I would not be surprised if Georgescu is included in the do over election in May that he might win.

I’m glad that you’re for restarting them. It’s the sensible position for Taiwan. By the way, similar models are going to 80 years in the US so I think a 10 year life extension is really far too conservative.

I see the extreme right getting handed a gift because “the good guys” decided it was OK not to play by the rules.
And why are the protests fake? Are they not Romanians?

Glad you agree that renewables are much more expensive than Taiwan’s fully amortized nuclear reactors.
Their cost is even higher when considering the system integration costs and instability they bring to our grid.

I’m happy to be corrected if I am wrong. But there is no proof for foreign interference. As for why the PNL (a center right party) would boost a far right opponent, so far I’ve seen no satisfactory explanation.

Was there Russian interference to boost Georgescu? That is what was claimed and the basis of the annulment. But it also turned out to be UNTRUE! It was another Romanian party that was behind the TikTok campaign:

Initially it was claimed that Russians financed the TikTok campaign for Georgescu. That turned out not to be true. It was financed by PNL…Georgescu’s opponent!
What does this have anything to do with Georgescu? Why does it invalidate his candidacy?

Lack of trust in the judicial system is a scary thing. And people have come out in force to support this cause. Is Ko guilty of corruption? I don’t know. I do know the Taipei prosecutors office have NOT made a firm case for it. 🧵

I focus on Wang because her case is the most outrageous and easy to understand. But the truth is, as KMT legislator Hsieh Long-chieh said:
“Today they came for Ko, tomorrow it might be for me. After that it could be any of you.”

Good for Wang’s bravery. Despite being threatened with 7+ years in jail, she insisted she did nothing wrong. In the end they found her guilty of mishandling NT$466 or around US$15, over 8 months.
She was given a 2 year sentence, suspended.

“When I heard that a chill came over my heart,” said Wang. She asked for the tapes as all hearings were supposed to be recorded by law: a 16-minute snippet was mysteriously missing.
When she complained, she was told by another prosecutor not to “direct the narrative.”

This woman (Wang Yu-wen, nicknamed “Jellyfish”) was a legislative aide for TPP Hsinchu mayor Ann Gao. Prosecutors went after her for “misappropriating funds” which she denied.
“We’ve got instructions from above to go after Ann Gao and her assistants,” she was told at a hearing.

Yes. They are probably the most prolific.
