One of the many things that makes me shake my head is how avowed anti-socialists reliably support  fission power plants, that are completely reliant on the State for their existence.

They rely on State power for their insurance, with laws exempting them from being sued in the case of malfunction.

They rely on State subsidies for their construction.

They rely on the State to pay for their decommissioning.

They rely on the State to dictate the prices their customers must pay.

I mean, really, every cooling tower on a fission plant should have a hammer and sickle painted on the side.

It was Merkel's personal bias against nuke power that has shut down the plants in germany.

I used to watch DW-TV & the commentators mentioned it more than once.

Besides, it's well established that DSANH's have little to no effect on anything.

It's the mainstream Left that loves to dictate to us peons/serfs/whatever who they believe need their 'guidance' so much.

Capitalism really sucks until the experience the alternatives imposed by the 'ivory-tower'  'eggheads', serene in their detachment from reality, secure in their 'cloud-cities', & oh, so superior to the 'great unwashed' beneath them.
