Nuclear plants are uninsurable. No insurance company will touch them. Fusion is an impossible dream and completely pointless. The dirty secret of the industry

Nuclear plants are uninsurable. No insurance company will touch them. Fusion is an impossible dream and completely pointless. The dirty secret of the industry is that we need nuclear plants in order to make nuclear bombs. It's where we get the enriched plutonium to blow things up. They never mention that, do they? The entire industry is an offshoot of Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" mandate. The world was so horrified by Hiroshima that we had to make up peacetime uses of radioactivity in order to keep rational people from stopping the entire experiment. Fusion is just the latest of these.
