Glenn Reynolds quotes Pournelle again...
Of course there’s a lack of confidence. Because the drive of the political class is not to solve problems, but to create problems which are then “solved†by increasing the power of the political class.

...Cheap energy will cause a boom. The only cheap energy I know of is nuclear. Three Hundred Billion bucks in nuclear power will do wonders for the economy. We build 100 1000 MegaWatt nuclear power plants -- they will cost no more than 2 billion each and my guess is that the average cost will be closer to 1 billion each (that is the first one costs about 20 billion and the 100th costs about 800 million). The rest of the money goes to prizes and X projects to convert electricity into mobility.and remarks
Of course we won't do that. (Jerry Pournelle, in Chaos Manor mailbag)
