>Honestly, I don't understand why we can't do both. Because we're been doing neither for 40 years.

  And, money is fungible. A dollar spent on X is not spent on Y. This is not a difficult concept.

    It seems to be, because there isn't a fixed amount of money. Money isn't the problem. Manpower and materials are the problem. Spending manpower and materials on X cannot be spent on Y. Manpower and materials are not fungible - at least not in the nuclear space where requirements are very high.

      Do you really need it explained that money represents manpower and materials? The manpower and materials that go into nuke construction are mostly the same that go into any civil engineering construction: pouring concrete and forming steel. Concrete and steel and work on them diverted to nuke construction is unavailable for anything else.
