Switzerland un-bans nuclear by 100-98, but the real fight is the referendum (bluewin.ch)
The vote that lifted Switzerland's post-Fukushima nuclear ban came down to 100-98 in the lower house, an indirect counterproposal to the 'Blackout Initiative'. Nothing gets built yet. The repeal still has to clear a mandatory popular referendum.
A Swiss voter laid out why it matters anyway: 50% of the country's energy is still oil and gas, two-thirds of its electricity is hydro fed by glaciers that are melting, and prices are 'sky-high'. The thread's sharper economists fired back that wind and solar already beat nuclear on cost.
