MIT-Linked Company Says It Will Build 'World's First Grid-Scale' Nuclear Fusion Power Plant
What do you think @Laurent Nours @Robert Biloute - on diaspora-fr.org ?
For the past twenty years I've been reading various articles about how 'we are five years from commercial fusion-generated power', and that's related to R&D from deep-pocketed and generally reliable high-tech powerhouses (pardon the pun) such as Lockheed. So it's near-impossible for me to take this startup seriously, especially when the article contains a gem such as:
It’s not hard to imagine why one would want to be able to harness the energy of the sun. It is hard to actually, ya know, do that, though.
Yeah, this is hard to take.
My favorite of the moment is this one : helionenergy.com/technology/
They also promised some real scale plant in the near future so I guess we are safe.. That said the design seems clever and the greatest need is to test other ideas IMO.
Pelican's Mirage
Here is a brown pelican (elecanus occidentalis) on a timber pile about 100 meters or so out from shore in the ocean. Hmmm ... it may be farther than 100 meters. Out above the horizon appears ghostly images perhaps a mirage of the ocean itself.

‘Powerful consiglieri’ run von der Leyen’s Commission, EU transparency chief says – POLITICO
#politics #EU #corruption #guillotine2024
O’Reilly, who leaves the post in February, said that over her 11-year tenure she didn’t once meet von der Leyen, and was “never at ease” with the “powerful consiglieri” who sit in the Commission president’s cabinet.
Democracy, uh? DISMANTLE THE EU.

December 21, 2019 – The White House incorrectly tweeted “the Obama Admin tried to limit Americans to buying more-expensive LED bulbs for their home.” In reality, the regulations date back to the George W. Bush administration.

December 21, 2020 – Trump spoke with aides about appointing his former attorney, Sidney Powell, as special counsel to investigate supposed voter fraud. But William Barr, the president’s outgoing attorney general, said he saw no reason to do so. “I’m not going to,” he said.

December 21, 2020 – Trump met with Mike Pence and a dozen congressional Republicans at the White House, strategizing for more than three hours about how to overturn the results of the presidential election. The Electoral College, however, confirmed Joe Biden as the next president on December 14.

Germany-based #SovereignTechFund contributes 384.000 EUR to #OpenStreetMap over two years. And the best part: it's not for fancy features big sponsors think they need, but for technical debt removal, documentation, testing infrastructure, vandalism prevention, and two additional paid roles.
@sovtechfund once again made a great choice and continues to follow their strategy of sustainable support of critical #OpenSource projects, which @openstreetmap definitely is.

Statement from President Joe Biden
on the Bipartisan Government Funding Bill
The bipartisan funding bill I just signed
keeps the government open
and delivers the urgently needed disaster relief
that I requested for recovering communities
as well as the funds needed to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
This agreement represents a compromise,
which means neither side got everything it wanted.
But it rejects the accelerated pathway to a tax cut for billionaires that Republicans sought,
and it ensures the government can continue to operate at full capacity.
That’s good news for the American people,
especially as families gather to celebrate this holiday season.
The European Space Agency has launched a pair of spacecraft on a mission to create artificial solar eclipses. The plan is to help scientists get a better understanding of the sun, including why the corona is hotter than the sun itself. Read more @npr:
Since all the taxes are used to pay interest on the governments loans to privately owned banks. to secure new loans from the same international bankers, money that they create at no cost at all when the loans are taken.
I approve of this message

in reply to Democracy Matters • • •The picks are attributed to Donnie, but the ones really going to rule will likely be the corrupt subversive masterminds of "Project 2025", Heritage Foundation, Leonard Leo, his arch-Catholic Opus Dei allies & the un-American oligarchs refusing to pay their fair share to a united free American community.
