I suspect there should be some open discussion about things akin to these, if not them exactly.

I have a sneaking suspicion that some of our issues are caused by the older projects having been incredibly massive in scope and daring, and now refusing to consider similar projects with what we have and know now.

For example, I'm not sure we'd even consider let alone build the Oroville or Hoover dam today. That may be a good thing ... or maybe it's not even considered.
