The United States has a long history of nationalizing private companies for the public good. The Tennessee Valley Authority is our nation's finest Communist achievement. Removing the draconian adversarial regulatory relationship currently imposed on this fine institution and placing it under bold, comprehensive, Conservative leadership will expedite the construction of new nuclear power stations and secure our energy outlook for generations to come.

If we had decisive leadership over a state-sponsored energy program, images such as this wouldn't exist. Nuclear plants don't pump coal ash into creeks. They leak nuclear waste into groundwater, and you can't photograph that. You don't see photographs of fish and wildlife collapse due to the TVA's dams, do you? What we need now is the bold vision, public outcry and legal justification to make that future, a future without embarrassing photographs, our reality.

The national NYT coverage seems to have done the trick. Federal investigators incoming. This is a good first step towards a massive, bankruptcy-inducing fine and ultimate government buyout/takeover.

I don't like to see conservatives being a troll.

Stop it.

Or we could just have a regulatory agency with teeth instead of being turned into Duke's lapdog under a Republican Regime like DENR was.
