At this point, there are multiple well-developed western economies with regulatory regimes that are generally trusted to adequately keep the perverse incentives of business in check. It would be an interesting regulatory experiment to charter a project that would be subject to a different regulatory environment than the country in which it was physically built. For example, a nuclear plant in the US that was exempt from all US regulations, but had to meet all of the French ones - built by French companies, inspected by French inspectors, etc. Just a wholesale transplant of the entire business/regulatory culture, as a point of competition.

(Obviously there are a thousand ways for this to go wrong, but entertain the idea any way)
