if you take an empty factory (doesn’t have to be over 50,000 sq ft) and find a way to locally fund anywhere from 20 to 100 or more clean energy jobs using this building as a charter school/ research center, you will get a LOT of free local TV news coverage to kick off the local debate.
But be aware that, without careful planning and PR, the debate might start with “Company puts nuclear reactor using toxic fuel in local building.”
The charter school by definition precedes the cutting-edge fusion research and proving/ developing facilities, since its funded by a direct-sales office in the same city or even village. I’m designing this model to directly address any and all safety concerns head-on with real information- including how to put a FF DPF on their business’s roof- that any person in the US can get in person with less than a 25 km drive. (!) Thus even if this network of 10,000 or more charter schools can’t commercialize aneutronic fusion (I have no interest in DD for its own sake or DT fusion, period), it will produce a myriad of Bright Line transaction potentials. Rezwan’s called these the Multiple Bottom Line.
Thus Focus Fusion is already paying it’s way in society in the form of ideas that can reduce air pollution by reducing the distance that millions of Americans need to drive to school or work, as well as creating new jobs, without inventing a single thing.
If you’re reading this in another country, please feel free to adapt these ideas to your locale. Heck, copy them outright if you can. Somebody has to break the ice and prove the business model before there’s a bandwagon to jump aboard.
