Three Mile Island owner wants bailout

It's bad enough that the company that owns the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear plant is going to restart the plant. It's bad enough that locals won't be allowed to use the energy it generates, as the entire thing will be used to power Microsoft's artificial intelligence projects.

But now the company is demanding a $1.6 billion federal bailout - so the taxpayers will again be left holding the bag.

Meanwhile, families who were affected by Hurricane Helene will be receiving only a few hundred dollars each - much like those affected by the Maui wildfire. The government always has a bottomless vat of money for corporate bailouts and illegal foreign wars, but none for disaster relief or Social Security.
