> 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.

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.
