    Oil companies are ultimately to blame.

    The all-powerful oil companies couldn’t kill nuclear powered submarines or nuclear powered aircraft carriers. Why is that?

      Because those are Military. They need to work and not be dependent on a few multi-national companies for fuel.

      Besides, those things are designed by people who actually know nuclear physics, and are not hamstrung by review boards and astroturf protest movements.

        Well, I’ve got some bad news about every single military vehicle with wheels or tracks and military airplane the United States operates.

        those things are designed by people who actually know nuclear physics

        I think they usually consult some people who know nuclear physics when they build nuclear power plants.

          Yes, oil is a massive issue for world militaries. You just figured that part out?

          Also, you missed part of the sentence;

          not hamstrung by review boards and astroturf protest movements.
