[Ormond Otvos]

Thanks. It’s Ormond, all O’s. They were having a 4 for one sale on O’s when I was born.

I’ll start work, and post what I come up with as a draft. Then you can all committee and I shall accept your revisions as I can understand how to fit them in.

I’ll start with a short (it’s done to death) CO2 danger thang, and a raise all boats with cheap energy thang, and then do a little fear of neutrons thang (Probably title it “Aneutronic” Twenty Mule Team power source, or maybe even tie it in with Ronald Reagan to appeal to the righties, and post it on Redstate, the big right wing blog, too. I read most of the big ones, contribute to a few where it looks like it will tend toward the saving of the most important species: us.)

A little detail on how it works, emphasizing lack of bad radiation, and hitting on the technical (ha!) simplicity, mention the fine and advancing work going on (gotta neutralize the “fusion is always fifty years in the future” myth by hammering the aneutronic aspect, and a teeny bit about X-ray capture and conversion to defuse the automatic skeptics, who can be technically quite competent.

I’ll need some links to the strongest arguments against, and also to why FF is the best of the breed. Karl Rove was right, you have to attack the strongest contrary arguments, and then move on. I’m hoping to utilize some of my skills in argument to actually present a solid case that can be adopted by advocates, but won’t be susceptible to honest skepticism. It’s quite a bit harder to disarm the dishonest skeptics. That’s where the comments section of the diary has to be carefully tended. Any of you registered at DailyKos or RedState?
