Leftists just believe “If you build it they will come”. That’s great for imaginary baseball fields, not so good for the basic infrastructure of industrial societies.

In this case, I don't think it is a Left versus Right issue, as the Left will probably be opposed to it.

The key difference is that this reactor IS going online. They've defined its purpose and technology. It's not a theoretic paper but real concrete and steel. The Japanese have/are spent/spending billions of Yen on it now. Will it work?

We'll see, but it is not that same talk; now we're getting something...

I agree...I was just saying, I don’t think people are unjustified in their skepticism!
