Felonius Ax of the Billionaires here, reporting from Tampa:
The torrential rain is starting to let up a little, thanks to Hurricane Isaac heading to where hurricanes belong – the Louisiana coast, so I ventured out of our cozy suites at the Westin Tampa Harbor Island Hotel where all of us big bundlers have been hunkered down, to the Nuclear Energy Industry shindig with Trace Adkins headlining.
Thanks to some of our benjamins crossing the right palms, none of our electeds seem to remember that the Fukushima disaster was just last year. Nuclear reactor subsidies are one government program that even our most vociferous Tea-Party guys can get behind. And that means that we’ll be building more of them, and soon, and very likely, in your neighborhood. But don’t worry. Nuclear energy is completely safe. It’s like getting an X-ray. And what could possibly go wrong?
