Their only concern is getting the money and votes of their special interests. Large unions like the UAW, Teamsters, railway workers, and their employers , celebrities, entertainment workers, and companies. Actions that would piss off these constituents before the next election will not happen. The Atomic worker unions have negligible influence due to the small number of members. A good example of our current crop of politician today is what happened in California in 2001. For over twenty years California legislators fought any new power plants in California, because their support by environmental groups like the Sierra Club would guaranty their re-election. When the lights went out, and the general population could not watch American Idol, or 24 all hell broke out. Within two weeks they approved 13 new power plants. Only ones that could be brought on line in the next 18 to 24 months. We now have some of the highest electric rates in the country, but the general public doesn't seem to mind as they can now watch their TVs.
