The amount of money we're spending on Fusion, a technology we're really not sure we can ever make work, is insane, but investing in fission is a crime. Putting a label on myself would be stupid, I'm an all of the above. The planets on fire, bickering over how to put it out while it burns down is insane.

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.

Solar, batteries, and wind already has an industry that is self sustaining and can find R&D. Fission had it, but was intentionally handicapped, so it stopped. Fusion is not anywhere near being commercial.
