Oddly enough that's one rule I would impose on companies building new plants. Within 10 years of the new plant going on line, the company should show plans for their next generation reactor. I doubt they would mind if they knew they would be able to build it in the future.

The words of Jame Madison summarize our current situation.

What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed?
