Can someone break down the economics of a nuke plant that would make it smart to pay $10M to just the dude that would help influence one getting built?

You may have missed the 10 million payment was to secure a billion dollar loan

5 billion. 10 million is 0.2% of 5 billion. there probably is no private market financing for building a nuke in the us, but even if you could find some somehow, it would be way, way more expensive than an additional .2% on top of whatever the gov would charge as interest.

If even half of the accusations are legitimate, the current United States secretary of commerce could rank among the biggest grifters in American history.

the numbers are nice, but he lacks flair. i give him credit for the sweet 'n lo grift, though. that's vintage pruitt style.

as sys said. They need massive incentives to get built and fossil fuels still swing a big stick

Every politician since George Washington flew their subjects down to their private golf clubs for policy direction, everyone already knows this.

You have to admire Jeff, on one side his tax write off is a LibBot nation staple. On the flip side his LibBot beloved Amazon, specifically AWS is becoming a massive defense contractor. This should make the LibBot/New NeoCon beam with pride.

Bezos is lazy rivering it across the swamp like a boss.
