RagnarD:

General Groves built the Pentagon ahead of schedule and under budget. That’s why his next assignment was the Manhattan Project.

If a man with the energy and competence of General Groves (or John Wesley Powell or Gifford Pinchot…) were running a federal nuclear power agency, chances are that my estimation of 250 nuclear power plants in 10 years would be an underestimate. Leadership does make a difference.
