24. You say that with the air of certainty. "Statistics can never show absolutes of certainty."
Do you have no doubts about the wisdom of continuing to throw hundreds of billions of dollars into a technology that continues to have catastrophic failures and still has not solved its waste disposal safety and security problem?

I think you'll find that the U.S. taxpayer will be far more resistant to underwriting and subsidizing the costs of the nuclear industry, including coverage for catastrophic losses. Same thing with the private insurance and reinsurance companies. Why should they assume this sort of risk?

No. I'm sorry. We're not going to pay for it. And, we're going to start shouting that much more loudly, as you will hear.
