Donald Trump Is a Commie

Trump wants to build nuclear power plants.

He has chosen Westinghouse to build them.

He will pay Westinghouse $80 billion for the projects.

In return he has compelled Westinghouse to pay him the government 20 percent of any “cash distributions.”

Between now and the end of January 2029, the government can compel Westinghouse to go public via an IPO, at which point the government will be awarded 20 percent ownership of the company, likely making it the single largest shareholder.

This is literally seizing the means of production. But to, you know, make America great again. Or something.

Westinghouse is owned by a joint venture of Brookfield Asset Management and uranium producer Cameco. Both Canadian entities. Work will not start until 2030.

 

Per the Washington Post -


The partnership is designed with “profit sharing mechanisms” that provide U.S. taxpayers returns “once certain thresholds are met,” according to the announcement.

Under the agreement, after the U.S. government signs final contracts for the construction of at least $80 billion in Westinghouse reactors, it would be entitled to receive 20 percent of Westinghouse returns in excess of $17.5 billion.

 

The U.S. could also require Westinghouse to go public if the company’s valuation surpasses $30 billion. If it does go public, U.S. taxpayers would be entitled to a 20 percent equity stake in the company, according details released by Brookfield"

 

Its common in the resource sector, uranium is one product, to use royalty arrangements for cash up front to be paid thought future income streams. I assume somebody familiar with those arrangements advised the government. I don't see anything wrong with this type of arrangement.
