Re: If you were paying attention you would know (none / 1)

On the other hand, I do not trust for-profit corporations or the military to tell me the truth, no.

Assuming for a moment that we can have non-privately-run nuclear plants without any military (or other hierarchical security organisation) involvement, what about a for-continued-self-existence state company/bureaucracy?

for-continued-self-existence (none / 1)

DoDo, a power company is, structurally, a "for-continued-self-existence" entity (i.e. we need power 24/7 and most likely will for the foreseeable future). Why should that be a problem per se?
