Donald Trump & Andrew Cuomo Are Brothers in Reactor Disaster
By Harvey Wasserman, Reader Supported News
08 June 17
Donald Trump and New York governor Andrew Cuomo have joined forces in
destroying our economy and environment.
While Trump wages global war on the climate, Cuomo demands a statewide
bailout meant to keep failed nuke reactors on line until they melt and/or
explode, Fukushima-style.
Trump and Cuomo are both are apostles of radioactive obsolescence.
The global climate treaty Trump wants to break has been signed by every
nation on Earth except Syria and Nicaragua (which wants stronger terms).
Trump is globalizing the US legacy of breaking 800 treaties with indigenous
peoples.
Like America's indigenous tribes, the nations of the world will never trust
us again.
Trump has shredded our global standing, as Germany's Angela Merkel (CEO of
the world's #4 economy) has pronounced us an unreliable trading partner and
China (#2) moves to partner directly with the European Union.
As Trump sabotages the dollar, watch him blame our economic death spiral on
Muslims, commies, immigrants, and people of color.
Trump's wedge between the US and Germany is a dream come true for Putin's
petro-mafia.
So is his attack on climate science as he hands our techno-future to King
CONG (Coal, Oil, Nukes and Gas), the obsolete monster of a failed 20th
century past.
Trump's hatred of Solartopian technologies - solar, wind, tidal, wave, ocean
thermal, geothermal, LED, efficiency, electric and hydrogen cars, advanced
batteries, etc. - leaves the US out of the biggest job-creating transition
in human history.
Through it all, Trump tweets his "love" for nuclear power.
With him on that is the alleged "liberal," New York governor Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo wants New York ratepayers to pay $7.6 billion in raised electric rates
to feed collapsing upstate nukes that could soon melt and/or explode.
The rate hikes would force New Yorkers as far away as Long Island to pay for
uncompetitive loser nukes that supply them zero electricity.
In part because of a deal cut by Cuomo's father Mario, Long Island still
suffers from $7 billion wasted on the defunct Shoreham reactor.
None of the four upstate reactors Cuomo2 wants to bail out can compete with
new wind or solar, which create far more jobs.
Tesla's "Buffalo Billion" solar shingle factory will create 500 permanent
jobs in northwestern New York, plus some 1400 spin-offs.
Ten such plants would create some 5,000 direct jobs, double those at Cuomo's
four loser nukes, with thousands more in spin-offs from cheap green power.
While Germany, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Iceland, Denmark, South Korea and
others head to 100% post-nuke Solartopian futures, China is investing $360
billion in renewables, and India is following suit.
Trump attacks such investments here while Cuomo's bailout cripples them in
New York.
The final four US nukes under construction (in Georgia and South Carolina)
have bankrupted Westinghouse, maybe Toshiba, and may soon be cancelled.
The 99 licensed loser US reactors all teeter at the brink of
economic/ecological catastrophe.
But Cuomo's New York bailout is a model for owners to gouge billions from
ratepayers to keep them open.
Cuomo says he'll shut two reactors at Indian Point, near New York City, but
still wants that Trump-style public handout.
No commercial reactor has liability insurance, so the next
melt-down/explosion could bankrupt us all, with none of Trump/Cuomo's
industry cronies held responsible.
Cuomo's bailout is being challenged in court. Trump's legal challenges are
legion.
Together, these brothers in reactor disaster are the ultimate radioactive
Luddites.
