So let’s wait before we start fighting over the conspiracies.

Nothing wrong with starting the discussion. I guarantee you those who have something to lose are already thinking about it.

From another article...

—not least by thinking about issues of energy equity and justice. “When we have these plants, where do we place them so that we can provide a clean energy source for all types of communities?” the NIF's Ma asks. “How do we build up a workforce that is diverse? How do we ensure that as we are building up this industry, we are training folks to have the skills of the future? We get to at least try to do it right this time.”

As far as this goes...

The ultimate solution may require a ton of unobtanium-spice alloy that has been tempered in a midoclorian bath.

... I see what you did there. 😉
