As long as there is a drop of oil in a well, man will hang on to his addiction which is killing him and making the Earth sick.
A delusion can lead to a collusion and a lot of collusions can lead to collisions and collisions can lead to death.
So is the life of man. He goes from one delusion to another delusion and from here to a collusion, searching for capital gain, and finally he reaches a collision, a downfall to all of his delusions. History is full of fallen delusions: old and forgotten civilisations.

The nuclear delusion has turned out to be too expensive and dangerous and besides there is the horrible problem of the radioactive waste.
Nevertheless, some countries like France, for instance, are still chasing this energy delusion. The French government is planning on constructing more than 200 nuclear plants in the near future.
Meanwhile, on his way to another delusion, man gets collisions here and there, once in a while or quite often. It all depends on how well or badly he manages his delusions or collusions:
