The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[Thryleon]

Interesting the US announce progress in Nuclear Fusion at NIF by having an NNSA Director tell the media how important the breakthrough was for nuclear weapons research.

Not a single mention of clean energy.

It's quite a bit of a tell about the state of the US psyche!

Propaganda is propaganda.

That message in the current world state of play is not for anyone interested in saving the world and clean energy.  Its a statement to show the world how much further ahead the USA is than they are.

The Artemis mission to the moon came from nowhere, and all of a sudden they are orbiting the moon and splash down.

Any statement made publically by the USA is one to advise their enemies how much further ahead they are.  Its an answer to a question no one asked, designed to make them ask that question.  In the context of the ongoing Ukraine/Russia struggle, it all makes perfect sense for them to talk nuclear weapons.
