"nuclear risk insurance" in the energy bill - WTF!!
written into the energy bill just signed will pay a nuclear power company 1/2 or 1 billion dollars if their new plant is not given a license for any reason....what a load of shit....so where is the incentive for the company to build a plant that will go online in time if they know they're going to get a big payout for delaying it?

how much more of a corporate gift could there be???

note: i'm not a supporter of expanding the nuclear power industry, period, but this is just adding a fuck-you to a slap in the face....

3. I'm going to apply for a license for my old microwave
If it gets rejected, I'll get a billion dollars.
