If Germany hadn't decided to shutdown nuclear power
- they wouldn't have worked so hard getting solar down the cost curve

Any other suggestions for interesting technology sites to visit in Tuscany?

Yes. *Resilience* is just as important as reliability.
When some things do go wrong (as they eventually will), it's essential to have the equipment, procedures and settings all working together to prevent the problem propagating - and maintain services for all/most customers.

Climate fatalism is just as wrong as climate denial — it's never 'too late' for change
Veteran environmentalist David Suzuki believes the time has passed us to stop climate change. He's wrong.

I knew one small US tech startup where they couldn't get a health plan to cover the company's employees because the Founder and CEO had Crohn's disease (gastric ulcers).

That's great.
I'm just reporting the impression I got from my GP:
"Here's a new patient for you with [recently diagnosed ADHD]. From now on, it's _your_ responsibility to manage them".

Up the Medicare rebates at least!
