Switzerland Moves to Lift Ban on New Nuclear Power Plants

Switzerland Moves to Lift Ban on New Nuclear Power Plants

Bloomberga day ago
The Swiss government has presented draft legislation to end its ban on building new nuclear power plants, reversing a policy adopted in 2018 to phase out the technology.
The plan, a counter-proposal to the popular initiative 'Stop the Blackout', would allow companies to apply for licenses to construct reactors — if approved by parliament and upheld in a potential referendum.

Former Liverpool Star Heaps Praise on ‘Tremendous' Michael Edwards

Liverpool Transfer Masterclass Leaves Danny Murphy Full of Praise for Michael Edwards Liverpool's summer business has once again caught the eye, not just for the players brought in but for the impressive sums raised through sales. Michael Edwards, working alongside Richard Hughes, has overseen a series of high-value departures that have left the club in a strong financial position. Liverpool's Profitable Player Exits This summer has seen the departures of several key figures. Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, both influential last season, moved on after campaigns that did not fully hit the heights expected. Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah have also been sold, contributing further to the club's growing transfer fund. With a couple of weeks still remaining in the transfer window, Arne Slot has room to add more new faces should he see fit. Having already delivered Liverpool the Premier League title in his first season, Slot now has the opportunity to refresh the squad while keeping the club's financial footing secure.

The sale of Luis Diaz to a European rival brought in around £65.5 million, despite the Colombian having only two years left on his contract. Murphy did not hold back in his praise for Edwards. 'I think Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have done a sterling job in that respect [the fees they've got for their sales],' he said. 'If you're good at what you do, then the players you then need to move on or sell on are always going to have good value. 'The money they got for Diaz is tremendous, really, when you think about it, he wouldn't sign a new deal, he's a quality player, people want him. And that gives you the capability to then do what they're doing now, so it's positive, I don't see any negatives with what's going on at all.' Michael Edwards' Proven Strategy at Liverpool Liverpool's ability to maximise transfer fees has been a defining feature of their recruitment policy over recent years. While not every departure has brought in a windfall, the success rate remains high. The club's approach of acquiring players at reasonable prices and selling them at their peak value has kept their net spend low, ensuring they remain competitive without overspending. Even after several high-profile exits, there is still talent in reserve. Harvey Elliott, Ben Doak and Kostas Tsimikas are among those who could command significant fees if needed. Edwards' track record suggests that, if they were to leave, Liverpool would secure strong returns. Sustainable Success under Arne Slot There is always a risk with significant player turnover, but Liverpool's meticulous planning minimises it. Each sale is carefully balanced with targeted recruitment, ensuring the squad remains competitive on all fronts. With Edwards guiding the club's transfer dealings and Slot building on last season's title-winning campaign, Liverpool appear well set to remain at the forefront of English football.
