The only way the pubbies can regain the momentum is to create a civilization agenda of their own that's even more dynamic than that of the dems.
What that entails is investing in the R&D for msr thorium reactors and even more esoteric polywell fusion reactors.
The goal is to collapse the cost of electricity to 1/10th the cost of current cheapest coal and create energy sources that are abundant for many millenium.
Energy sources that are so cheap that for instance they'll make it economically viable to bring fresh water to deserts for desert farming and thereby turn first america's deserts green and double the habitable size of the USA and then turn the world's deserts green and double the size of the habitable earth.
The path to the deserts of mars leads through the deserts of the earth.
Mr. Coffee Fusion.
Nowhere in your plan is there massive EBT payouts.
Getting close to solving and solving are two different things.
DARPA claims they’re having some success but they didn’t say what that means and they’d have to kill me if they did.
Here’s a list of possible meanings for the acronym EBT. Which one works for you.

That design is probably a little too esoteric. However, it doesn’t look like its too expensive for hobbyists to play with.
he claimed that he was getting close to solving the challenge

True. But the problem were solved the world would be a very very different place. The risk reward is very promising.
Creating problems is a task all in federal gov’t WILL NOT WASTE..
They excel at creating problems that don’t exist for them to try to solve themselves..
AND by trying to solve them create even bigger problems..
which they blame on republicans..
AND they are CORRECT... Obama’s administration would wither and die were it not
for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell financing him..
You know.............. ON PURPOSE..
The MyT enegine would solve energy problems from other end were it developed and used..

Cancer cure is just around the corner.
Cold fusion is just around the corner.
Middle class thanking Obamacare is just around the corner.
Peak oil is just around the corner.
A younger, more beautiful replacement for the wife is just around the corner..
Yeah right....keep believing the crapola.
I’d also heard of Bussard from Larry Niven’s sci fi novels, where he refrerred to the Bussard ramjet as a means of propulsion.
The bussard design is the second design that I’ve heard about from the great days of nuclear power that was killed. The first one is the msr lftr reactors that alvin weinberg invented and ran in the late 60’s. the fantastic thing is that he also held the patents on the light water reactor as well as the first patents on the msr lftr designs. He said that the molten salt designs were many time safer/cheaper/better than the light water designs. he was so adament about it — he was fired from his position at the head of oak ridge laboratories.
You plan includes no increases in gimmies, man. What about the gimmies?
(Yes, I am just teasing you)
