Austria Built A Nuclear Power Plant – Then Vowed Never To Use It.
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you a video that I spent months making before at the very last second realising Tom Scott had already done a video on this exact same thing. GREAT STUFF I'M SO HAPPY THANKS TOM. (jk love you) Either way, while his video is very concise and talks a lot about what the plant is like now, I'd like to think mine takes a slightly different angle and goes into a mammoth deep-dive on why it was built, why its operation was put to a referendum, and why the people voted the way they did. So come with me to this random corner of Austria to see a big lump of concrete that serves no purpose. ------------ Welcome to What On Earth Is This?, a YouTube channel featuring strange and quirky things from around the world that you may not have heard of.
