More fundamentally, you'de be filtering out people's views on policy based on their engagement with the horse-race side of politics. That's not a particularly well-aligned criterion, regardless of the reasons why someone might not be immediately aware of which politicians are in which seats.
That seems like a huge disadvantage for nuclear power if you need to guarantee strict ideological commitment to ignore cost-competitiveness not just now but into the future. Renewables and batteries are not only cheaper now but have far less scope for major failures based on some MBA cutting corners in a decade.
What do you consider adequate cooling? Remember that for every GW of electricity you need to remove 2-3 GW of heat. That's a lot of heat. Strapping a giant PC radiator fan to the plant won't cut it.
It's because ignoring rights happens faster than they can be protected.
Move fast enough with sufficent scale and you can eliminate peoples ability to protect their own rights before they even realise they are under threat.
Sometimes friction in government is necessary for individual liberty.
At one point we considered adding artifical delay to responses because irrational users dont trust something that finishes fast, even if its the same quality.
How empirical are your comparisons of new and old outputs?
Users dont understand the externalised cost of free services.
Worse than that, they feel entitled to them, to the point that the actual expectation of having to pay for something that requires effort to maintain is treated as an insult.
