Niven's law indeed.

Let's see... How about this. Steam-powered MASER to start out with, because 1) the Sparks made it, and 2) it fulfilled the initial demand quite nicely.

Then, later on as the expansion continues, start building the oh-so-much-easier-to-scale magnetohydrodynamic taps. This way, we have the best of both worlds,
and with a solid reason for why it was done.

Security is definitely going to be an ongoing issue. Would anyone complain if Benjamin commissioned the construction of a Jovian-based branch of the
Roughriders?
