In brief
Ahead of elections the author turns "who is to blame?" into "what have we – specialists and society – failed to do?": Maritsa East 2 has been losing money with no plans, management is paralysed, and there is no impartial analysis (gas vs grids, hydrogen vs water, batteries, energy co-operatives). His conclusion: we expect more from politicians than we demand of ourselves.
