I would have thought that Czechia would be all over Gen 4 Thorium-based nuclear power .

The Chinese are busy coming of with SMR's in all shapes and size, which will outproduce any windmill(s) during it's lifetime and can have a footprint of an truck ( since it quite literally can come on one )

Have the Americans convinced Czechia to shutdown it's nuclear plants like it did in Germany and de-industrialize itself in the process?

this new thorium based Gen 4 nuclear technology makes nuclear reactors inherently safe, which in turn makes any sort of NIMBY arguments mute really. ( China is about to put those into commercial ships )

And without abundance of cheap electricity, no country in Europe will be able to compete with East Asia on industrial level so that mindset needs to change for future generations.

In China they are already moving into factory/dc sized, mobile & ocean/floating platforms solutions.
