Why insist on nuclear power over olives?

“In the event that olive growing activities and other investment fields overlap, other investments and natural resources should be evaluated in terms of whether or not the olive grove is less beneficial than other possible activities.”

This is the Energy Ministry’s justification for the bill it has just prepared, which has been dubbed a “death sentence for olive groves.” 

The meaning of “other activities that might overlap with olive growing activities” is very well known to be nuclear power plants. It is also very well known that the bill to be passed for nuclear power plants will first open the way for mines over olive groves, then will come housing complexes and the construction of shopping malls.

Isn’t this a bit weird?
