65. how about this: support for $10 billion nuke construction in return for campaign donations?

We worked for years to see these reactors approved and I’m very pleased this long-sought goal has finally been achieved. The construction of two new reactors will be an over $10 billion dollar project and represents one of the largest investments in South Carolina history.----Lindsay Graham

Two weeks later, when Graham’s “Team Graham” Senate campaign committee filed its quarterly lobbying disclosure form, just one name appeared. SCANA Corporation, the committee revealed, had given the Graham $54,575 in bundled campaign contributions between January 1 and March 31 — raising money for him as he worked to secure their $10 billion project.
The Center for Responsive Politics ranks SCANA as Graham’s second-biggest source of campaign donations, dating back to his 1994 House of Representatives camapign. According to their tabulations, he received at least $37,725 from SCANA’s political action committee and at least $67,380 from SCANA employees over that time. Their support for Graham was relatively cheap, compared to the $260,000 the company reported spending on federal lobbying in the first quarter of 2012 alone. snip

Over 40 years and more, we've been able to shut down this dangerous nuke industry that STILL has nowhere to put the rad waste so highly radioactive fuel rods are sitting in pools in our cities "temporarily"---for 40+ years! You can count on a Fuku-type disaster there. And now it's Lindsay Graham proclaiming the new nuke renaissance. Another Big Clown for the KKKlownKar.
