Isn’t this sort of like building a Lamborghini Countach before anyone ever discovered oil and gasoline?

I know, it’s close enough to 20 that it fits the cliche.

I actually think it makes good sense to pick the site even if you don’t have the plan yet.

I’ve called for every municipality with 50,000 or more to prepare a site where one or more of the small concrete encased nukes can be dropped and connected to the grid.

You could keep a few ready to go in the midlands somewhere. And then drop one in when a disaster happens.

I thought cold fusion was 20 years off?

“I don’t know. It’s just 20 years off.”

Cargo-cult fusion plant has to look real!

And if that doesn't work out, they can convert it to jazz fusion.

The Ukaea have been bafooning around with this for decades.
The toy they have been playing with is just five miles up the road from me.
Many billions spent, it just won’t self sustain.....
Fusion and communism have something in common: “They just didn’t do it right, watch this!”

"Where do you think we should build the time machine?"

They will send someone from the future to tell us.

“Nowhere does the article mention that ...”

But it has the requisite couple of pretty pictures. It’s a worthy fusion power article.
