Ghost maker, pay close attention to this as I am likely to only say it once.
I. Agreeee. Www wit h. Yyyy ooooooooooou.
God that was hard to type.
Yeah, I'm a hard leftist who is agnostic and still hopes there is an appropriate hell for Trump and his followers, I support green energy and eating the rich. I also know green energy is still not ready for prime time . So I support a large scale new nuclear deal program until green energy or fusion is good to go.
I've wanted to see an all new nuclear energy program in America for decades. It would be based on the worlds oldest, safest, most efficient and effective nuclear energy program on earth, which America has access too.
It's called the United States Navy.
The usn had the first nuclear powered vessel, USS Nautilus. In 70 years there has never been a serious nuclear incident involving a USN operated nuclear reactor. In two cases where nuclear subs sank due to non Nuclear ssues the navy has monitored the wrecks and found radiation containment is functioning even under the worst case scenario.
I'd love to see a National nuclear energy program ran by the navy with as many Nuclear trained naval personnel as possible overseeing it. Private business could compete for contracts under it, but would sign aggreements placing them under military authority if they want those profits.
Designs would be strictly overseen and reviewed by naval trained nuclear experts. Construction would be overseen by naval engineers and ANY graft investigated by the JAG of the navy. Anyone caught grafting gets sent to leavenworth or another military prison ran by the finest R. Lee Ermy brand sadistic assholes the USMC could muster.
I'm willing to bet that people who've done a military career just might understand words like duty and honor. Not all of them, but more then you find in corporate America.
Plants would be run as much as possible by former or current naval nuclear trained personnel. If civilian employees are required they'd be screened and trained by naval standards abd subject to near militiary discipline.
Security would be serious and provided my either USMC personnel or people screened, trained and certified by them, also agreeing to military discipline.
But of course it can't happen. The fucking corporate pigs would oink and squeal about government control of businesses, and their republiscum politicians would have it declared unconstitutional.
Nuclear power could be wonderful for America, but corporate America has proven itself to greedy, selfish and corrupt to be entrusted with anything that powerful and dangerous. To do it right we need people with a sense of duty, honor and loyalty to America's interests.
So I'd turn it over to the squids and the jarheads.
