Responsible Nuclear Energy

Oxymoron or just moronic?

We're going to get busy making a bunch of poison that will linger on the planet for a whole bunch of lifetimes. Lots more lifetimes than the people who generate it. A wonderful legacy. Not moronic, insane. Hey, that's the tip of the iceberg. We put this in the hands of fictitious entities (corporations), because of the awesome responsibility. They pocket lots of money (centralized collection of capital) whilst waiting for their equipment to wear out. Gonna be a big headache here, don't you think? Nope, when the plant gets old, sell it. Take a bad check if necessary, but get rid of that millstone around the company wallet. Can't get rid of it, you say. No problem. Bankruptcy. Baptize the dopes who have been buying your product all these years with a little nuclear waste and some decommissioning fees. Don't worry, they'll have to keep paying you your salary to manage the whole operation. This is the stuff "dreams are made of", you say. Nope, this is the way it works.

Why would we want these Nukes in the first place. Shortage of power? Nope, fooled you on that one. Make a ton of jobs? Nope. Raise property values in their community? Nope. Produce cheap electric power? Nope. Make big money for Big Money with no real long-term liabilities. Now we're gettin' warm. Make big tax revenues for the government? I think we're narrowing it down. It's about money. You probably thought those power lines to all the houses were about "centralized distribution of energy," but you were only half right. They represent "centralized collection of capital" for both the fictitious entities and governments, because our fictitious entities collect and deliver the governments piece of the pie. Like they're partners, sort of in business together.

One detail worth noting is that it takes really big money to get in this business, and it takes construction companies that can afford to finance presidents to build these poison producers with no liability. Lucky for us, we're stupid and don't notice. Now we have understanding. Nuke plants plug in to the existing money collection system, like having your own arcade game. Turn the key and get the money out. Don't sweat the liabilitiy, we're fictitious, and not just that, there's always justice. The lawyers say you're not guilty unless you've been convicted. Fictitious entities, lawyers, bankruptcy, asset sales, is there no end to the advantages of being able to afford justice.

Next thing you know someone will be standing on a soap box and touting alternative energies. This would not only stop some insanity, it would cut fictitious entity jobs, lawyer jobs, banker's jobs (who finances), cut some government bean counters and in the pocket regulator jobs, and even worse, not make a pollutant that is also making jobs. What the hell kind of fools do those wacko environmentalists think we are? These are very important big money jobs and capital flows. I can hear them now, talking how alternatives make local jobs, local industries, eliminate pollutants, put more money in the local economic engines, and disconnect from "centralized collection of capital," that suctions the local economy better than the all night Tuesday special at Mabel's Hookers and Horn Dogs. These eco-wackos are un-American. They're probably gonna say that the whole damn energy system is flawed. They just do not understand money. For chris'sake, the whole world financial system is the real lubricant that makes the oil flow. They'll be trying to say this system causes global warming. Get the lawyers on that, make sure we're fictitious entities.
