Lets put things in perspective instead. 
 
1. 10 kW to 1.5 kW is only around 8 dB, no big deal,
    at least it will not automaticly by you a clean frequency. 
2. Very very few people runs 10 kW. 
 
3. A VERY high number of people overdrives their radios and
   "small" amplifiers and by doing so they take up more
   spectrum then needed, not a fair way of competing.

No matter how big an amp you build in your shack or
at the base of the tower, that does not help your
listening.

Indirectly, it does help your listening.  Running 10 kw, the frequency
is yours and yours alone.  No QRM = better listening.
