I am telling the anti nuclear folks you got it all wrong. You need to say...it’s a ruse....we are in a national energy emergency...we immediately want you to build the first two nuclear plants.
I’d even tell them construction regulations are optional. We are giving you amnesty on these first two plants...because we love our country so much. The nuclear guys are so out of touch with our national crisis. Remember many people can’t pay their electric bills. These guys will self destruct before 50% of the first plant is built. The quicker they shoot themselves the better everyone will be. Can you imagine proposing to build a new nuclear plant in Vermont...getting the OK...then telling the rate payers they will be charged as the plant is built.
