OpEdNews - Page 2 of Article: Georgia Power's Appeal for Front-loaded Funding of Its New Nuke Plant

True enough, we face stark choices about energy. And we may have little option, at some juncture, other than to rub the nuclear lamp again and hope that the genie there turns out to be friendlier than we feared. However, the present return, after a thirty year detour that followed in the aftermath of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, to a nuclear powered future is at the very least inappropriate without further democratic review. And that's at the very least. At most, and significantly more likely, given the evidence that is available to anyone who does decide to pay attention, this represents another case of a fraud being foisted on a complacent and ignorant populace. At the very best, we will be buying the new reactors at Plant Vogtle at a cost that is dear but about which we have little choice. And that's at the very best. At worst, and much more likely, given even more copious data that the discerning can see, we are signing a death warrant for unknown legions of our children and grand children, all to enrich the already fabulously wealthy.

And they want us to pay in advance. It's crazy, at the best.
