Dems Go Nuclear

[Griff]

The only thing is that Nuclear Power requires regulation, we can't have Tom Cotton involved.

[glatt]

Nuclear power is just fine, until a human makes a mistake or series of mistakes.

Or it's privatized and a venture capitalist group buys it and then fires all the trained personnel as a cost cutting measure, then strips it of its assets and sells off the fuel to the highest bidder.


Or, regulations are some liberal snowflake shit that we don't need so...


Or, Low bid contractors get Slappy from East Bumfuckistan to come over and knock it together close enough for government work.


It's not like there has been a surfeit of responsibility, ethics, and morality plaguing this country for the past few decades.



While we may NEED nuclear power we sure as hell aren't responsible enough to have it.

We do need it, but you are right that there is enough hatred for experts and over-sight in this country to make it unmanageable. Remember when Rick Perry ran on getting rid of the Dept of Energy so Trump made him the head of it? He had no idea of the functions of the department. We need sensible bipartisanship to have nice things. To be fair to Rick, he seemed to get on board pretty fast when he saw what they do, but there's always the chance that they'll get shit-canned as part of the Deep State.
