Reply #13: List the *power plant* technologies that need an act of congress [View All]

in order to pass the risks on to taxpayers.

This special condition is required *by Congress* (not me) of only one power plant technology (no, not hydro). It's due to the enormous risks associated with nuclear power but no other power plant technology.

If you can't name any other *power plant* technologies that require an act of congress to indemnify the owners, I'll assume the rest are much less risky, and should be considered before we even think about building nuclear power plants, even if the costs are higher (though none are), to avoid incurring enormous risks that even the industry itself isn't willing to incur.
