"Before the Law"
 
"A man from the country seeks the law and wishes to gain entry to the law
through a doorway. The doorkeeper tells the man that he cannot go through at
the present time. The man asks if he can ever go through, and the doorkeeper
says that it is possible. The man waits by the door for years, bribing the
doorkeeper with everything he has. The doorkeeper accepts the bribes, but
tells the man that he accepts them "so that you do not think you have failed
to do anything." The man did not attempt to murder or hurt the doorkeeper to
gain the law, but waits at the door until he is about to die. Right before
his death, he asks the doorkeeper why even though everyone seeks the law, no
one else has come in all the years. The doorkeeper answers "No one else
could ever be admitted here, since this gate was made only for you. I am now
going to shut it."

Subject: [ RadSafe ] DOE - Court Ruling on Nuclear Waste Fund Collection
Justification

If this has been posted already, sorry:

 

A District Court Court rules on DOE nuclear waste fund -against the legal
basis for DOE collecting fees. DOE must justify consumers adding to $30
billion collected [at rate of $0.01/kwhr ] to date since it cancelled Yucca.
Wow, do those pennies add up!!  See:

Excerpt from above:

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) called
the court decision an "important victory."

"The court made clear that the Energy Department has not justified continued
payments into the Nuclear Waste Fund," said NARUC President David Wright.
"Today's decision will force the Energy Department to do its job and prove
why it should continue fees for a nuclear-waste program that it says no
longer exists. We believe the evidence demonstrates that until and unless a
new nuclear-waste policy is developed, consumers should be given a break."
