Brian,
Excellent points about the spinoff effects of electricity becoming the preferred energy source, and the manufacturing shift that will follow. I’ll make it a point to spell it out much more implicitly today. The sidebar starts right off distinguishing between fission, fusion, and anueutronic fusion before nailing down what makes FF1 the obvious choice. (losers use superconducting magnets).
I’ve seen guestimates of $10G to $50 for the SE. I wouldn’t really be surprised to see deployed and staffed hardware running at least $100G, since what I saw was several years ago.
