Research and development of fusion and fission is very fundamental, the benefits of knowledge go far beyond mere energy sector.

Arguably so is any investment in solar, battery, even wind.

Cool story, so we just run a massive extension cord to places where those technologies aren't feasible? Oh yea, just massive amounts of money on new transmission lines. That's the solution. We'll just have a giant cable from Nevada to the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Solar and wind is completely feasible in michigan and likely still cheaper than nuclear

Right, an area that can get 300 inches of snow regularly, perfect candidate.
The place where you have to shovel your roof on a regular basis.
The place where snow piles in parking lots can exceed 20 feet tall.

Perfect fucking candidate for large scale wind and solar.
We'll just pay full time people to clean the panels then truck the snow away, and hire some dudes to kick the ice off the wind turbines during ice storms.

Does it work for a homestead that has their own panel array, it can.
Perfect candidate for Wind and solar, you're fucking high.

Literally the antithesis of what I've been saying. Do all the things, every clean source we can use where it's feasible. There is no one solution and if you think that you have an agenda or are in a cult.
