Enshittification of nuclear energy is a disaster waiting to happen. I hope I'm wrong.
Come on... Shitty safety measures have never, ever, in the history of mankind led to catastrophic events with a lasting fallout. -some government that collapsed
After all after some point safety is just pure waste of money. -some dead CEO
It doesn't take enshittification for something real bad to happen. All it takes is time. Add the mentioned enshittification and corner cutting and we know for sure what will happen...
Or how the saying in EvE online goes : it's not a question on if your ship gets blown up but a question of when it gets blown up.
They know taxpayers will foot the bill and they will make astronomical amounts of money off it. Plus they get a stranglehold on energy.
Tech companies aren't going to buy power plants and enshitify them. Allowing the tech giants at the table at all is far passed enshitification of democracy (and your tax dollars). Governments should have built the energy using the people's money, and profited off businesses using extreme amounts of it (bringing a lot of dollars back). Instead they'll use the corporate money to build energy, and profiting off the people who need to pay the corporation
Not just that, but it's so they can profit from even more taxpayer subsidies. That's why theyre trying to convince us it's all for humanity.
Subsidies seriously distort the market.
IMO the only kind of subsidy should he “If you’re a human, you get some money on a regular basis”. That’s the only way to subsidize economic activity without distorting market signals, because humanity’s choices is exactly the signal source that the market should be responding to.
Subsidies are important. You pay enough tax dollars that some of those should be used to help the country be stronger economically. You don't want all farmers to disappear from the US because China can make food with slaves for waaaay cheaper.
The problem is theyre laughing at you helping their friends with that money, and calling it capitalism. It's socialism for corporations using the people's money really
