No. I think that a sane, well-adjusted person would only *care*
if they built them in the U.S. After all, these are the same
sorts of people who are always whining about America forcing its
will on other, weaker nations. One would reasonably expect them
to be consistent, and applaud the idea of other nations being
free to make their own decisions and form their own policies
vis-a-vis nuclear energy.
And once another country had crossed that line and decided that
it wants a nuclear power plant, what difference does it make where
the plant came from? Even if one objects to nuclear power on
principle, I would think it would be seen as desirable that once a
decision had been made by some nation to go that route, it was
an American company that landed the contract. Wouldn't you? I
mean, it wouldn't have been the contractor's fault that the nation
in question had decided to go with nuclear power.

That would certainly seem to be the implication of what I wrote, yes.

What's that got to do with GE, boycotts and nuclear power plants?

What's that got to do with GE, boycotts and nuclear power plants?
Get a grip. Go take a Midol or something. You liberals are such
*emotional* creatures. There's a lot of truth to the idea that
liberalism is basaed on ferminine emotionalism, and conservatism
is based on masculine rationality.

That begs the question of whether GE is, in fact, immoral.
>But my *real* "take away" was:
: "A 'long-running boycott.' Now *there's* a claim to fame!"

And well that it should've been, for I stand by it.
