Oh sure, and after a few of those that "carefree and/or foolish" public
flock to the polls to elect candidates who promise to push through every 
new power plant proposed, regardless of how well or badly planned, its 
effects on the environment, energy policy, whatever.  "The public" is not 
a captive population you can "force" to "learn," it has the power to throw 
out virtually every impediment to getting what it wants if it is so 
motivated.
