Who's afraid of that? 
The governements I know (Canada and Québec province, which is the worst) are so ineffective and corrupted at doing anything, that if they do this kind of project, it will be a total economics failure:
After 3 years, the project will be a total failure.
Total BTC generated: 900.
The wallet will be backed on tape and lost in the next 5 years.
Tax money lost, one more project down the drain.
Nobody will care and medias won't cover the irregularities to protect the system.

- Their new cluster of 64 nodes of IBM PowerPC AIX servers with Power6 CPU, connected with 10 GigE ethernet, a centralized SAN and Oracle RAC licences (do not ask questions, there is an Oracle taxes here for IT projects) at 350 Millions $CAD will end up generate 1 BTC per day and cost hundred of $ per day in electricity.
- The consultants will slip out of the office a box containing 128 3D highend Nvidia graphics card that were bought for this project.
- Their 10 Millions $ Windows 2008 server 'Bitcoin-Miner edition' licences (it does not exists, but it will be charged 10 times higher than regular Windows 2K8 licences) won't be used (it do not work on PowerPC!), but Microsoft resellers will host parties in stripper bars and government project managers will be their guests.
