Environmentalists are crushing Europe's energy independence ambitions.
 
Europe is not going to achieve a competitive energy transition with the current interventionist policies...

Interesting. The ideological enemy of this economic camp is 'interventionists.' I assume 'interventionists' means government trying to act to regulate industry for the public good. As if the producers have anyone's best interests at heart, except the controlling owners. Without intervention you get rich oligarchs and everyone else impoverished. See Russia.

The essence of the article is "What happens in the period of transition?".
The author is not against interventionism per se...just that the policies are not
well thought out.

It looks like the Greens might have to declare nuclear power "Green".

Employing that clearly negative label is not policy criticism, it is casting the policy makers as essentially untrustworthy and wrong-headed. However well-taken some criticisms may be, I see the basic project as pro-oligarch.

Physicist, Sabine Hossenfelder, distills nuclear power.

Only anti-environmentalists would see this as a betrayal of environmental goals.
