Despite the opinion of 9 of 10 respondents to this pole, I think it’s more-or-less a political and commercial given that any big investment project in the next few years in the US, and to some extent, the world, will require government money instead of private.

When it comes to this sort of infrastructure project, I suspect most of the people who replied “no” to this thread’s question “should gm or anyone be bailed out?” would reply “yes” to “should government fund large-scale power system projects?” Rather than just guessing, I’ve started a new poll thread, “Should national governments manage and pay for large power system projects”.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
