Do you have any idea when the government is going to begin "ensuring

the law limits liability to $75M for companies involved. the taxpayer
may get stuck for the rest...another subsidy for wealthy investors,
similar to the $500M liability liimit for nuclear power plants. i'm in
favor of nuclear power, but investors should bear the cost of these
events, not taxpayers
