this always bugged me
for decades the dems have cried upon the heavens for clean efficient energy, then when they are given clean efficient energy, they have some reason to hate it.
a coal fired power planet produces a hell of alot more ambient radiation than a nuclear power planet, and spent nuclear fuel storage has been solved for decades, but everyone is too stupid to understand the technology so it never gets investments.
that's just fission
huge breakthroughs in fusion tech have been made very recently.
in short humans are idiots, when given exactly what they want, they will immediately determine its not good enough and then bitch piss and moan for something else.

I do wonder about the tritium shortage but I am sure smarter people than me are cooking up workarounds. The related space development could help with that too, via helium-3.
Ever watch Isaac Arthur's youtube channel? I'm a big fan of that guy.
I'd squeal like a piggy if I could watch some astronauts putting boots on the ground on Mars someday. Or if I could see even a working model of an O'Neill cylinder in orbit as a proof of concept. Kalpana one, space tether, whatever!
It will bother me somewhat if it's some billionaire does any of those things like first like they portrayed in the third season of For All Mankind, but a W for the species is a W.
