Well, that is surprising, for a government is it not? Erm no its not. I seem
to recall the reason in this country why a lot of companies eventually did
not embrace nuclear was due to the costs involved which mainly were a tax
from Government, disguised as a cost of decommisioning levy or some such
tosh.

"Germany's tax on nuclear fuel was designed 'to siphon off the profits of
the nuclear power plant operators', judges in Hamburg have ruled. The tax
exceeds government competence and contradicts the country's constitution".

Not hard to exceed government competence, is it, these days?

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members
of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded
with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
