"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.""
Alameda and Livermore rejected or lost a bid for a $1 billion fusion site, avoiding extensive tax breaks and land incentives for a technology that may not become commercially viable for decades. Fusion research currently yields net energy only for brief moments, and commercial sustainability is likely many years away. The Alameda site also faces future sea-level rise risk. A local political cartoonist is criticized for accusing liberals of celebrating or justifying violence and for misrepresenting political positions. Calls press for serious, continuous efforts to implement a ceasefire in Gaza, release detainees, withdraw troops, and allow uninterrupted humanitarian supplies and negotiations.
