Yeah, putting your hopes / goals on a fusion powered future is foolish at this point.

But I def support (lots of) research into it.

From Wikipedia

In 2019, the US EIA revised the levelized cost of electricity from new advanced nuclear power plants going online in 2023 to be $0.0775/kWh before government subsidies, using a regulated industry 4.3% cost of capital (WACC - pre-tax 6.6%) over a 30-year cost recovery period.[63] Financial firm Lazard also updated its levelized cost of electricity report costing new nuclear at between $0.118/kWh and $0.192/kWh using a commercial 7.7% cost of capital (WACC - pre-tax 12% cost for the higher-risk 40% equity finance and 8% cost for the 60% loan finance) over a 40-year lifetime.[64]

The article discusses why that number is probably flawed and relies on cherry picked data, but it seems somewhat close to profitability. Assuming theyre above with a cost of electricity of ~$0.20/kWh (already cheaper than some of US) should be viable, yeah?

Ideally we figure out some sweet Nuclear Fusion.

Ya know, there might be something to that as a strat.

Yeah, doubt most here would appreciate the Southern Victory series by Harry Turtledove, but in the series, Confederates win American Civil War; Lincoln doesn’t get assassinated, and so proceeds to spin off a far more left wing Socialist party from the Republicans towards the end of the 1800’s.

This leads to interesting dynamics through a modified WWI + WWII.

Unclear what you mean. Are you saying you can get an RSS feed for Reddit posts?

Fuck, this is probably going to screw up @[email protected]

Wait, I thought we all agreed titles like “Project YYYY” felt totalitarian and too reminiscent of Stalin’s 5 Year Plans for comfort.

Personally, I felt the “Deal” moniker was a good one (Square Deal, New Deal), even if the Green New Deal felt derivative and should have been called just “The Green Deal”.

Anyway, stop making political initiatives sound like they’re coming from the bad guys.

Edit: oh, its just a censorship initiative to pRoTeCt ThE cHiLdReN. Maybe leaning into the “bad guys” feel of the label is what they should be doing.
