The Dubya Syndrome

(dated ‘70s movie reference – sorry…)

I noted this in a comment at Prof Marcus’ site yesterday, but I think it bears repeating (maybe I’m right, I don’t know; hopefully it will never matter).

We know that President Nutball signed an executive order recently “…that gives the White House much greater control over the rules that the federal government develops to regulate public health (and) safety,” as well as privacy and other issues.

And as noted here, “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued its first license for a major commercial nuclear facility in 30 years.”

Do you have faith that our red-state president won’t try gutting regulatory compliance for a facility such at this in the name of assuming more control and making it easier for his corporate friends to shirk their responsibility for running such an operation safely? I don’t.

Sweet dreams, everyone.

Thanks for the good words - there are other sources of energy we can try exploring before we even think about this one.
