A Boring Dystopia

We desperately need upgrades to our energy infrastructure. Production and even moreso, distribution are in desperate need. It doesn't help that huge chunks of our existing production are being gobbled up by datacenters. We are also at least a decade behind China in clean energy production, and we have an excess of weapons grade plutonium. All of the above makes giving access to these resources to companies developing new forms of energy production make sense.

THAT SAID, I have zero trust or confidence in the current administration's ability to govern or manage this process safely and securely. I also have very little faith in technology disruptors and their capabilities, diligence, or discipline to manage such a dangerous resource.

My worry is not Skynet with nukes as much as it is American weapons grade plutonium ending up in the hands of someone with a deep desire to create and use nuclear weapons (functional or dirty).
