This post was deleted for the following reason: Short Forbes writeup and a couple of links to the company's own website feels sort of thin and where's-the-beef for a post to the front page about this. -- cortex



 
Well, Fluor makes it's money is nuclear remediation because that has been where the money has been - nobody has built any new reactors in the US since the 80s.

Are you insinuating that Fluor intends to cause nuclear accidents? Do you have any evidence whatsoever for this extraordinary insinuation?

InkaLomax, can you explain to me what the apparent contradiction or matter of interest here is? I'm not getting it.

And if you're making a claim about FoxBusiness, could provide a link?

mr_roboto, surely not? That would be... crazy (no irony or sarcasm intended).
