- =+= This just shows (once again) that you aren't listening to
- what the anti-nuclear folks are actually saying. I have never
- met anyone in the anti-nuclear movement who wasn't aware that

- massive government subsidies, various tax breaks given as
- incentives for building nuclear power plants, utility regu-
- latory bodies whose duties include *guaranteeing* a profit
- for utilities, and a total lack of accountability for any
- mishaps or long-term problems.
