They contend that U.S. equipment is better and breaks down less, that foreign builders in wartime could not supply parts and services to bomb-damaged U.S. power plants. They admit that they cannot compete with low-wage (about one-third the U.S. average) foreign producers, but plead that the U.S. should support the domestic industry to keep its huge machines and highly skilled men ready for an emergency...
