The solution is to punish the driver, and (insofar that it's practical) take away his ability to kill anyone else on the road, while at the same time sending a message to everyone else that reckless driving comes with severe consequences.
In the Putin example, he can't get a free pass for what he's done to Ukraine, so the international community absolutely should punish him by, as quickly as is practical, phasing out trade with Russia.

Poor nuclear plant design shouldn't render the entire idea of nuclear power inoperable. I don't even understand the hesitancy, considering nuclear power has been proven to be extremely safe. Hell, the US military has been using it to power subs & carriers for years without issue. Of course that isn't the issue here. The issue is the activist agenda has hijacked a movement where the end result is we'll burn more coal instead of less.
As someone who is excited about human advancement in energy technology, it sure is frustrating to see the activist green morons take a giant #### on everything the human race has built the last 10-15 years in terms of energy production.

Again go back and read what I said about Fukushima, you can't blame people for being scared of nuclear reactors in response to what happened there, but on the other hand, they should have taken a calm, level-headed approach to learning precisely what caused the Fukushima disaster to happen and what design and procedural flaws played roles in making it happen. Such a disaster wouldn't have happened, even with the tsunami being as severe as it was, if the reactor design was one of the modern ones commonly being used today.
Nuclear power is safe, as long as it isn't being extracted via dinosaur-age technology.
