  • They did that because of Fukushima and some sociological factors in the german population (which maybe come from Chernobyl’s time too)…I’m sure they regretted putting all chips on gas after the invasion of Ukraine…but then again with what is happening in the ZNPP, I’m not so sure anymore. Germany is not in a seismic zone, but it is in the European plain after all, which is a recurrent geopolitical problem.










  • At this point, it is just part of the corporate innovation cycle: first you make money by creating better products, once the tech matures and the gains in engineering are marginal, you move focus to sales and try to gain market. Then when the market is saturated, you move your focus to finance, aquisitions and cost-trimming.

    From this pov, it looks like google got caught flat-footed (when it was moving from sales to finance) by a tech breakthrough and seems to be in “manage the shit out of this” mode, when now what they needed was to go back to an engineering focus, but by now it is too late, because the company already alienated the most dedicated engineers and can’t get them back while still in sales/finance focus.
