Because this can't possibly end badly - letting nuclear reactors be operated by a nuclear power cooperative whose founder created the company as part of a Ponzi

Because this can't possibly end badly - letting nuclear reactors be operated by a nuclear power cooperative whose founder created the company as part of a Ponzi scheme [1]. Idaho is a beautiful state with awesome people, but if I lived there right now I'd move. All it will take is a few cut corners on training or parts [2] to cause something similar to Three-Mile island. In fairness there are currently 96 nuclear reactors operating in the U.S. The average age of these reactors is 38 years old. And there have only been 13 nuclear incidents during that time, that we know about, resulting in 7 dead total. That however is 7 dead directly. A number of people who got Cancer around Three Mile Island attribute it to the incident, so that death toll could be much higher, or it could be accurate - we don't have the means to verify it at this point. However, this permit allows them to build 12 reactors, with no history of operating a reactor safely AFAIK. Also, these reactors are a new type, smaller and modular, which may mean they are less risk but also means they are more of an unknown. In my opinion this is an insane risk.
