New nuclear power plant in UK

jeudi 24 mars 2016 à 01:00

The UK government wants to promise it will pay an extra 30 billion dollars to the owners of its new nuclear plant if it shuts the plant before 2060.

The plant is so expensive that makes no economic sense except as a giveaway from governments to their cronies.

jeudi 24 mars 2016 à 01:00

The causes of the water problems are many, but the root cause is simple: plutocracy. Take Flint, for instance. Why did all the jobs in Flint disappear? Why did Flint go bankrupt? Why did Michigan Republicans impose the emergency manager law? Why did Snyder impose an emergency manager on Flint? Why did the emergency manager decide to use the unsafe water from the Flint river? Plutocracy is at work in each case.
