Loading ...Nuclear Fusion Incinerates Climate Crazies
Your attention please. This century’s scheduled performance of the apocalypse has been postponed indefinitely, ladies and gentlemen. Your tickets will be refunded at the box office…
But if you think the left, both here and around the world, is going to stand for their mission to cripple capitalism being derailed by a scientific breakthrough, you don’t know them. Fusion opens the floodgates of energy; radical environmentalists, on the other hand, want energy to trickle down and be rationed in accordance with government edicts. Instead of a world of limitless possibility in which even those who are now poor can live out their dreams, the left’s dream is a world of severe restrictions on economic prosperity and individualism, a global economy in which solar panels and windmills and mass transit are forced on the public as a duty. A society in which the freedom of driving your own family car is replaced by the mobility limits, enforced conformity, and artificial community—not to mention discomforts, lack of privacy, and crime—of the bus and train for all (except possibly the likes of Biden climate envoy John Kerry and other climate policemen among our governmental betters, who are wedded to private luxury travel).\

This technology would be a Godsend. No doubt the totalitarians among us will do everything in their power to prevent its development.
That being said, there have been many claims over the years about successes in this realm, so caution is in order. For years thorium reactors have been held to provide the benefits of nuclear power without the risks of nuclear waste, and with other energy benefits in the processing of the fuel. I’d love to trust the science, but nuclear science is completely political just as vaccine science has become.
