These descriptions of fail chains are all valid… when applied to a single person or relatively small group of people. I can accept that a single person can have personal emotions against nuclear power so strong that they will be entirely blinded to the objective physical data about its emissions reduction, safety etc. Or that someone’s personal emotions or bias will make them strongly against EV and in support of coal or oil - doesn’t mean I agree, but I can understand how this works. Emotions are very powerful factor that is often underestimated in policy discussions.
But that’s precisely why we have institutions to remove that personal bias and make the decisive process more rational and evidence-based. Especially EU legislation puts plenty of focus on evidence and merit - there’s a whole multi-stage assessment process, costs & benefits analysis, public consultations etc etc.
And in terms of ETS vs CBAM all of these have miserably failed, which indicates a systemic bias so strong that it resulted in economic and social consequences so huge that we are now facing a massive wave of anti-rationalism, nationalism and isolationist tendencies.
Trump, AfD, le Pen, “Jobbik”, “Konfederacja” are not some weird unexpected phenomena that came out of nowhere - it’s the ignorance and ideological bias of EU political circles that literally brought them from fringe, marginal movements into mainstream.
