As I keep re-iterating, I can’t see how they could cause trouble for anyone but themselves. The initiation of FF power production (or even setting up a generator mfg. plant to make and sell them) would leave any region/jurisdiction/market that opted to refrain from getting on board out in the cold. No customer base will put up with 10X+ higher costs just because a quasi-monopoly wants to exclude the competition or sell only a higher-margin product. Businesses and their jobs and production will ‘vote with their feet’, if all else fails.

Plus — investing in FoFus and quickly increasing the market (consumption) has a much better ROI than standing pat. I’m sure their accountants will make that quite clear to them.

Perhaps you miss the point… they will try as surely as the sun rises. This immense change will mean an opportunity for equally immense profit-taking on the part of our lords and masters.

They are very used to bending governments and laws to their will and getting their way no matter what it costs their serfs… I mean their “customers”…

They will try and they, de facto, wield vast power.

But it will be funny to watch the “deregulation” tide suddenly turn, at least as far as this particular subject is concerned, and those fierce advocates for liberty will start carefully explaining how aneutronic fusion must be strictly regulated under experienced corporate oversight.

And the House and the Senate will, again, carefully follow their instructions from the oligarchs…
