Why we have to nationalize nukes and the whole grid.

We need to take over all electrical power production, particularly the construction and operation of new nuclear power plants. If we don't, rate payers will bear the whole burden of getting to zero carbon, and that is not fair. Decarbonize is a national priority and we all need to pick up the old. Yes, I know we could get along without nuclear power if we didn't live our greedy pig lifestyles, but that is not happening.
