Got any sources for that happening in that domain? I doubt there are many politicians of the old guard that are comfortable relaxing nuclear power regulations.
I appreciate the link, it’s hard to trust what people say nowadays as their hate for societal structures makes them all regurgitate the same sentences without regard for context or nuance.
Your source however didn’t touch on regulations being breached or removed by corrupt politicians. They only spoke about attempts of siphoning money from the public.
You are right, this corruption case was not about regulations but, imo, that’s just a matter or price and time.
A long time ago I read about some horrible explosion in a sugar refinery and was amazed how so many industries have had lethal cases like that which can be traced directly to greed (not negligence, not an accident, not a bad mix of circumstances, just greed)
Since then I have all but convinced myself that every industry out there have had a similar example (usually more than one) which is why I have zero tolerance for the notion that industry can regulate itself. Every single time a politician talks about deregulation for efficiency or job creation, what they really mean is they are taking “donations” and couldn’t care less that people get hurt
I do believe nuclear power will always stay a unique exception to this, it’s extremely tightly regulated on an international level due to the fear of nuclear bombs. It’s far safer and better for the environment than coal plants or natural gas, which do poison the environment without much corruption needed to enable it.
The nuclear power industry is a whole different beast than what the California tech bros are used to.

I respect your attempt to narrow it down enough to maybe escape my generalization… The lesson is never put your trust in politicians
