Disagree - I think it is very simple and you are over-complicating, which is what the EU bureaucrats do to obfuscate their bad decisions bc they do not want accountability for what they do.

Let me simplify:

- past and present decisions by EU bureaucrats = bad

- nuclear energy = good

There. Now the EU people know who to blame and what to do.

But the EU leadership is like - "Hubbuduh hubbuduh, blah blah..."

It's distraction. Don't fall for that politic shit.

Energy is not an EU competency. And to be clear, EU bureaucrats decide basically nothing, the council of ministers makes all EU decisions and they are the elected ministers of the member states.

You’re right about that.

Then whoever is electing those ministers better start electing other, smarter people.

That would be the people of Europe, and I agree. But blaming it on faceless bureaucrats is a distraction from that.

My agenda is that is that I wish the best for the people of the EU. The people running the EU do not, which is proven by their illogical actions.

The issue is not that the people running the EU do not want what's best for the EU. It's that:

    1. "what's best" is subjective
    2. They sometimes lack the ability to understand and measure the consequences of their decisions

It's not clear why one should believe you do, given that your idea of EU inner working is based on false assumptions.
