Do you want to be in the business of insuring nuclear power plants against catastrophic malfunction? Well, too damn bad, because we ALL are! The U.S. Government (i. e., the TAXPAYERS) provide that insurance, thanks to the Price-Anderson act.

So, I'm sure that the Rethugs will have no problem sticking us with that responsibility, as well. Hell, from their point of view, anything that might bankrupt the Government is as GOOD thing.
