    I live in Italy. I may even trust nuclear power (even though I’m not sure if waste management has improved), I don’t trust actual human beings handling contracts, funds, and maintenance.

    A bridge collapsed in Genoa, killing 43 people, splitting the city in two, and crippling the economy because Autostrade per l’Italia skirted the pesky issue of maintenance.

          Ok, fine. I bet you don’t even think you should be up in arms about every bridge ever built. In fact, I bet you’re perfectly okay with the concept of bridges, and feel no guilt or any emotion whatsoever every time you cross one. I bet the morality of the existence of bridges are a complete non factor in your thinking.

          And yet, for nuclear plants…all of that matters. For some COMPLETELY INEXPLICABLE reason.

          Curious indeed.
