Or have the government own the plants and lease out operation to a qualified commercial operator with rigorous certification requirements and regular recertification requirements.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoI have more faith in the military chain of command versus a contractor who isn’t going to give AF if they lose a contract and the US gov has to pay out to rehabilitate a facility that wasn’t properly maintained. Contractors have less fear than someone who can be jailed (and let’s be honest, contractors and other commercial entities are never held accountable when they cut corners for profit and pollute with wild abandon leaving us with Superfund sites).
- danans 5y ago> when they cut corners for profit and pollute with wild abandon leaving us with Superfund sites The military doesn't have a great track record on Superfund sites i.e: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0902731 https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0... However, I agree that at least the military has the culture that will follow orders if asked, and more importantly, it's the only government program that the US population is willing to put unchecked amounts of money towards. As Reagan said: "trust, but verify".
- minikites 5y agoWhy does it need to be run by a commercial operator at all? What advantage does that confer?
