Nobody said otherwise, you are desperately moving the goalpost here.

“Desperately”, you’re a funny guy. I live in Japan, no tax payer here is sitting around going, “how wonderful the nuclear disaster was, now we’ll get all this new tech to boot”.

Sometimes you need to call a spade a spade. This was a disaster, politically, economically and environmentally. Yes some good will come from it, but ultimately, it was better off not happening. All that money could’ve and should’ve went on new and safer power plants.
