I was actually thinking this is something interesting in politics that I've never really thought about .. like Congress passed a bill to make the FDA allow OTC hearing aids. The FTC could have done it themselves too .. interesting interplay

Seems like pretty definitive proof that the NRC is a captured agency. That is, anyone considered competent enough to serve as a NRC commissioner holds the orthodox position that preserves the status quo.

NRC is moving, albeit too slow. 50.160 allows smaller emergency planning zones. Alternate physical security rule reduces staffing requirements. NRC is publishing an advanced reactor generic environmental impact statement (AR GEIS) that helps with NEPA. Kairos got an EA vs an EIS

The biggest mistake liberals have made is to reject the bureaucratic politics literature because it came from conservatives. Liberals, who want to achieve positive goals, should embrace these lessons in order to efficiently and effectively provide public goods.

Reminds me of an Ezra Klein–Matt Yglesias podcast back in the day about the platinum coin Ezra: "Now, I don't know how many dimes are in a trillion dollars, but..." Matt: "It's 10 trillion dimes" Ezra: "Fuck you"

I'm continually surprised by how rare mental arithmetic skill is among technical people. It's about as hard to learn as riding a bike (ie not hard) and it puts first principles thinking on warp drive. With daily practice you can quickly get faster results than using a calculator
