Exactly. Taking the high road now will set a precedent that could turn "lawmakers" back into statesmen and by devolving federal powers back to the states is the path that will make the Republicans more more likely to appeal to swing voters and put some "conservation" back into conservatives. Great post.
Private investors sunk two billion dollars into this humbug. They might be naive, but they have real skin in the game.
The change which makes fusion potentially real is superior superconductors. They have achieved much higher magnet strengths than were used for prior research reactors and those magnets are cooled by liquid nitrogen, not liquid helium. The price difference between liquid nitrogen and liquid helium is enormous.
But yes, we should carry on with advanced fission research and deployment. The burden of proof is still on team fusion.
Thank you for the Solomon quote.

Very wise. Gloating never wins anyone to your side.
Nuclear fusion being "just around the corner" is a utterly naive humbug. And a psyop to attack nuclear fission and natural gas.
