It has been asserted by some here that the NRC and other regulators will use every possible remotely applicable bureau-rule to delay and drive up the cost as far as possible, certainly by a factor of 5, or perhaps even 10. My response to that has been to suggest that no state and even the US is not the world, and any jurisdiction that played such games would find itself “sucking gas” when others used the huge cost advantage to their advantage, instead of trying to protect local monopolies, etc.

yeah; that “drive up the cost” tactic is the committed goal of the anti-nuke lobby, which is partly nimby, and partly legitimate anti-proliferation lobby. the good news is, we’re on their side, on this one. to quote Eric: “focus fusion is very anti-proliferation”.
Yeah, but it uses ATOMS, doncha know? And we all know how dangerus them things are! 😆
