U.S. to give $452 million in corporate welfare to build 'tiny nuclear reactors' 13 Dec 2013 The Energy Department will give a small company [NuScale Power] in Corvallis, Ore., up to $226 million to advance the design of tiny nuclear reactors that would be installed under water. The award is the second of two under a $452 million, multiyear program to assist in the development of "small modular reactors," which would be built in American factories and delivered by truck. The first award, in November 2012, went to [corpora-terrorists] Babcock & Wilcox, which formerly sold full-scale reactors. [No outcry from the GOP over the 'government picking winners and losers in the energy sector' when it's a half a billion for deadly nuclear power, though, right? Gee, looky here: GOP Congressmen: Gov't Should Stop 'Picking Winners and Losers' In Energy Sector 02 Mar 2012 Several Republican leaders in the Senate and House spoke about their legislation to repeal all tax subsidies to the energy industry on Thursday, stating that government should not be in the business of "picking winners and losers" but should instead seek to ensure a level playing field for all competitors.]
