Reply To: Brain: dualism of consciousness.

Two points:
1) If any jurisdiction, anywhere on Earth, starts making and/or using FoFus, everyone else will have to fall in line or be subject to unbearable competitive disadvantages.
2) Even for utilities now using the cheapest available power sources, they will get better ROI by spending the next billion $ on new FoFus and deploying them — and on a much shorter timescale — than by any conceivable expenditure on existing plant or plant types. (Which is why I brought accountants into the picture.)

And the cat is pretty much already out of the bag. Unless these malign powers act NOW to stop achievement of unity by LPP, the simple fact that it has happened will be the starting gun world wide for anyone who has been tracking DPF research even at arm’s length. It’s called the “existence proof” effect, I believe: knowing something is possible is more than half the battle. Even if you have zero details about the specific technology, there are a myriad of brilliant reverse-engineers who can “get there” by the same or related means just knowing that it has to be possible.

And the incentives are beyond huge.
