The state should still own a large chunk of it.
- kwere 4y agothe (US) state is too (politically) biased/volatile to manage even something that isnt basic science. look at Nasa. And btw this is an investment wich could create more economic activities and down the line tax revenue.
- Ericson2314 4y agoLook at the Tennessee Valley Authority. Our governments do have a lot of problems, so the solution is to make not formally a part of the state to get around a lot of bullshit.
- credit_guy 4y agoBut why? To get a dividend? The state gets to tax the profits. To tell the management how to run the business? The state has the NRC, which can pretty much tell a company like NuScale what they can do and what they can't.

Regulatory agencies can only say "no". They can only "make things happen" by saying no to other options. That is not good enough. We have a stagnant government and society built around "no" --- NIMBYism and all the clientelist back-scratching that goes with it. That's not good enough. I want a state that can do things actually make them happen.
