<p>There is a lot of that, but there is also the fact that you can get lulled into a false sense of "it is working" in general the motto is 90% of the work in 10% of the time and 90% of the time to get the 10% more done, and the devil is always in those 10% that often hinge on decisions made during the 90% phase.<p>It also depends on the requirements, and what the actual thing you want done. For software, sure you can probably patch it and there are some inconveniences you can live with depending on the clients requirements, for hardware... a little bit tougher... But it still depends on what is being done and what are the constraints, as long as people are reasonable, usually, it works out... Except that people rarely seem to be reasonable...</p>

<p>Your comment is even more depressing when you realise this applies to other elements of our daily lives, including but not restricted to oil, environmental management, societal support...<p>Funny how our short feedback loops and greed pushes people towards deeply unstable systems, especially if the price seems so "cheap" for a reward sold as so incredible that it would be dumb not to bet on it...</p>

<p>Where is most of that future power going? Where are those power plants going to be installed? What need does those particular nuclear reactors would fill?<p>Do not get me wrong: I am not anti-nuclear per-se, but my main concern is that it would have made sense to have a long term strategy including phasing out of nuclear not directly shutting down in the 90's as the Italian did, but progressive phase out with upgrades to existing plants... Now it seems to be going a bit backwards.<p>Also, to contrast and put in context, in Belgium, Nuclear power plants were build by the state and therefore paid by the tax payers, raising taxes in order to afford them. The underpinning idea was that you pay a bit more and then once paid off you can get cheap energy.<p>This is not what happened, the power plants got privatised and the gains went to the new operators, leaving tax payers with the bill...</p>

<p>For profit IS the problem, the fundamental issue is that there are some services that needs to be run at a loss because the profit is the service which is being provided, that is the whole point of public service and paying taxes in order to have those operated.<p>Now I'm not advocating for reckless spending, you can run services with reason while staying within a spending envelope, but there is a striking difference between entities that are specifically aligned for profit and those who aren't, and this is very noticeable in the health sector, in America, were wealth directly correlates with health.</p>
