Too many Republicans now want the government to give American taxpayer's money to nuclear power companies which makes government bureaucrats the deciders about who are going to be the 'winners' in the energy supply marketplace.
American taxpayer's wealth was redistributed in the 1950's. The promise was that electrical power would be so cheap, that a wattmeter wouldn't even be needed on a house. Pay a flat fee of $2 a month and take as much 'juice' off the grid as you want. That's what was promised.
The only problem was that the nuke power industry got fat, lazy, and stupid sucking off the teat of the government sow.
Now, Republicans are planning the same 'great' idea. Once these companies get their taxpayer money, then a multi-million dollar bonus will be given to just too many power company executives. Remember the Wall Street handouts? All they have done is garnish some taxpayer's monies and have produced nothing in the dreaded free market.
Slovenliness and stupidity will surely follow.
It's time to get the US government out of the picture when it comes to deciding who will be the winners and losers in the 'free' market.
When Republicans want to emulate Socialist/Marxist France, then you know they have shown their true stripes.
