*Everything* depends on the State for it's existence nowadays & that includes all the left-wing politically-correct schemes that are so prevalent. The difference is that the socialists believe that economic common sense should take a back seat to ideological considerations, which eventually results in a wrecked economy. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 11/5/14, Ian Whitchurch <xxxxxx@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [TML] Fusion by 2025? To: xxxxxx@simplelists.com Date: Wednesday, November 5, 2014, 3:35 PM 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.

Fission plants are a hella lot more expensive to build, run, maintain and (eventually) decommission than they were sold as. Believe me, if nuclear power plants were profitable, all the DSANH’s in the world would have not been enough to stop the profit machines. As supporting evidence, note that a whole lot of DSANH-type people aren't at all fond of petroleum. All their protests haven't done diddly to that market... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@travellercentral.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://archives.simplelists.com ----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@travellercentral.com To unsubscribe from this list please goto http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u=EwREIRgLK8vaUEhNlnoNdSGKwnjoID8a
