I'm in the industry...what you're saying or insinuating makes no sense.

I have yet to encounter and govt. agency that doesn't have some "excess", "pork", or "fat" on the books so to speak. I would assume the Army Corps of Engineers is no different.

Pretty sure a AI robot could operate those.

Easy to say when you have no idea how its done! Plus who would everyone whine about when the river is a little to high or low for their liking?

And when this program can’t turn valves, detect leaks, verify meters are reading correctly, or maintain itself, you’ll end up paying a private programmer and contractor more than you’d pay an operator.

If you could completely automate a generating station, the private sector would’ve done it by now.
