Sounds more like you guys should be lowering barriers to entry, not setting up a global non-profit cartel.
- nomel 8mo agoTrue. I suggested global because it allows for scale with copy/paste designs, where things like nuclear could actually become viable. Where I am, we have a solidly aligned state government. There's no concept of consequences for anyone in power. They're paid by the local companies to pass laws to make competition legal. Some are investors. All corrupt. That's what you get with a solid political alignment.
