U.S. Federal Reserve to Buy Stake in Muppets
German media company EM.TV said Tuesday it has signed a letter of intent to sell the U.S. Federal Reserve a 49.9 percent stake in the Jim Henson Co., creator of Kermit the Frog and the Muppets.
"We are committed to continuing the legacy of creativity, humor and humanity that marked everything Jim Henson touched," Greenspan said in a statement. "At the same time we feel there is enormous potential for productivity growth, not merely from Kermit and the Muppets, but from the expansion of the Henson brand into all areas of the US economy."

Of course they had a nuclear program. And the best way to make sure they would continue it was to give them the excuse that they did not have any other energy source - i.e. cut the fuel.

Not the most clever punishment, I would say.
