Letters: Alameda and Livermore are spared fusion folly
"Two East Bay cities dodged a bullet when they lost to Pacific Fusion's selection of Albuquerque for its $1 billion fusion site. All three cities offered excessive tax breaks, land and other perks for an enterprise that may never be operational, let alone profitable. Recent reports of fusion research labs achieving just a few moments of more energy created than the energy expended to spark fusion indicate that productive sustainability is decades away."
"Mallard Fillmore is about as funny as an old man yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn. On Oct. 7, Mr Tinsley implied that liberals are celebrating the cold-blooded murder of conservatives and calling for more of it. What's humorous about that? The next day, he again accused liberals of quoting Charlie Kirk out of context to tacitly justify his murder."
Two East Bay cities avoided offering excessive tax breaks, land and other public perks for a proposed $1 billion Pacific Fusion facility when Albuquerque was selected, averting large taxpayer expenditures for a technology likely decades from productive sustainability. Recent fusion experiments achieve only brief net energy gains. The Alameda coastal site faces future inundation from climate warming. Passage of Proposition 50 is promoted as necessary to safeguard renewable energy from authoritarian threats. Mallard Fillmore cartoons are criticized for unfairly accusing liberals of condoning violence. Sustained efforts are demanded to implement a Gaza ceasefire, release prisoners, withdraw troops, and deliver uninterrupted humanitarian supplies.
