Brian,

There is a vast middle ground between being “hyper-regulated” and being able to do anything you want. We are all regulated to a greater or lesser degree in what we do. We all get a drivers license in order to be able to drive a car. That drivers license places limits on how we drive and requires us to do things (pass a test) before we can drive.

Industrial facilities are (and I think should be) regulated in a number of ways. Focus Fusion is an “industrial facility” that happens to also be a nuclear (fusion) technology.

So when I state that, especially in the initial deployment phase, Focus Fusion will be licensed by the NRC, and that I think that license will require site security, this is not implying that “special interests” are attempting to “kill” the technology. I believe that Focus Fusion can be a massive success even if it’s initial deployment is not done the way you feel is best, i.e. highly distributed (and un-regulated).

This debate is starting to remind me of my only encounter with Scientology. They kept saying “no, you don’t understand, you have to think this way…”
