But, my point was that I am speaking from personal experience, not some third hand, unknown authority.

My personal experience is the regulatory agencies can be flustering and arbitrary. My personal experience is that even on attended plants with rent a guards, security issues happen. On these basis, I state that my opinion is that the NRC will be one of the permitting agencies and will require on site security.

I understand you disagree. If I understand correctly, you think that Focus Fusion will be treated like a transformer or air conditioner unit and can be installed anywhere an owner pleases, and believe that remote monitoring and a lock on the door will be the security requirement. You feel that maintenance can be contracted out, just like the building plumping or HVAC maintenance needs. If this is not correct, please explain what I’ve misunderstood and how you think it will happen.

Note: I have limited my discussions to what I’ve referred to as the “first phase” of deployment. This being the 5-10 years needed to switch over, transitioning to more de-centralized nodes out to twenty years after commercial availability. I am not considering the world 50-100 years from now. I’ll be dead.

At this point, I think we will both have to wait and see what actually happens, if it happens at all.

Personal experience means nothing, say a man see a UFO and says it was aliens, you argue against his logic and he claims “you we not their, man, this is what I saw!”

I don’t see why focus fusion can’t be decentralized from the get go, After prototyping, testing and a few pilot facilities of course.

Consider the world 50-100+ years down the line, your child, grand children and any related generation (hopefully) won’t be dead by then. Also considering transhumanism some people might actually live forever eventually, so nothing will be able to be put off for another generation to deal with.
