Nuclear Industry Response - Throw $$$ At It
Facing its “biggest crisis in 25 years,” the nuclear industry is wielding hefty clout by spending “tens of millions” on lobbying and campaign contributions. One company has spent $3.76 million to lobby, while contributing to 134 House and 30 Senate campaigns. The Center for Responsive Politics notes that companies “bring a lot of resources and a heck of a lot of cash to bear if this fight goes forward.”


just watch the rascals swarm:

2. If only someone would lobby $3.76 million towards Solar.
The problem with solar not taking off very fast because the superrich don't want it too. They would whether destroy the planet for a buck than have clean (cheap)energy.
