Today, I will introduce you to the Denethor Syndrome. It is a serious and possibly contagious condition in which people react negatively to optimism and positive action. Not stopping there, the afflicted tirelessly work to convince everyone that taking any action is futile.
(Parallels to recent attempts to restart German nuclear power plants are purely coincidental.) 1/n Let me explain: Denethor II was the steward of Gondor, defending against the onslaught from Mordor. But years of wrangling with Sauron through the Palantír combined with personal losses take their toll, and he becomes fatalistic and irritable. 2/n

Huge concrete structures and unwieldy pieces of equipment must be assembled to the strictest quality standards on remote sites. This takes time and can become very expensive. 2/10
