ElementOfDestruction writes: "Italy has joined Germany in halting the production of energy from atomic power generation means. This differs from Germany in that the Italian decision was made by a public vote, rather than the case in Germany where the government mandated the shutdown. 57% of Italian Households voted in this public measure. While democracy should trump all, is it wise to hold majority opinion so high that it slows down progress?"
