That would be as much the fault of the government for not countering the
arguments.

But it was the government who went all 'green' on this.

They wanted out of nuclear, despite the fact that Switzerland being
almost 100% hydro nuke - and it doesn't get cleaner than that - has
virtually a zero carbon footprint when it comes to electricity.

They will have to build coal now..


In which case, the people have learnt a valuable lesson - and as it seems
that democracy actually works in Switzerland (relative to here) they might
be in a position to do something about it.
