When electricity was invented, it was not a part of the infrastructure of the country. The electricity lines are just roads for electrons. Private corporations should not be in charge of infrastructure. The rarest element on Earth is plutonium, and nuclear power generation creates it. Like bitcoin, which is based on a fixed amount of computation over time, uranium produces plutonium and power over time. I propose that the US move to the plutonium standard. It buys uranium and community sized small safe nuclear power plants and provides nearly free power to the public since the public owns the means of production of power . This slowly moves the USD from the oil standard to the plutonium standard. When fusion arrives, move to the helium 3 standard which is abundant on the Moon.
