You are right, Money is the key factor that moves all of this. Ecological approaches have to be good for the economy to work. Unfortunately there is no other way.
Technology can be used for good and it´s wonderful when that happens.
I have seen the 5 episode series of Chernobyl. I thought it was very good and interesting. Yes, it was all caused by a human error, this can happen again, with other human errors. It´s a very powerful tool to be working with...maybe robots will outdo is humans and be better at managing. They might be more perfect than us. I don´t know.
