  > Sure, but these people are a fringe group, a I see little evidence that they are a disavowed fringe group. I see alot of evidence that they're at the top, in control, and at least clever enough to dodge questions about their position on nuclear. That is, when they're not outright lying about it. It's not a new development, this was evident since at least the early 1990s. > I guarantee you that if limitless, clean, cheap energy became the norm then the vast, vast majority of the world But that's irrelevant. You speak as if "if this technology magically falls into our laps". Technology does not do that. It requires effort and money and time, and these people have done what they can to worm their way into positions where they're in charge of doling out those things. There's another comment whining about how it would take at least "6" years to get moving with nuclear. This, to them, is an argument against. To me, it's an argument for even more hurry. If things take awhile to get moving, you don't put them off even longer. Most people are so ignorant of all of this, that they exert absolutely no influence in one direction or the other. What they want will matter little in the end.
