No problem, just buy an EV and plug it into the wind turbine in your back yard.

Interesting. Taylor Wilson in 2013 here:
Then today where are all the small nuclear plants??? Well they are coming but are up against a strict (over) regulation from the govt.
We were promised smaller nuclear reactors. Where are they?
Small modular reactors could be quicker and cheaper to build. Now, they’ve reached a major milestone.

I think that a lot of the greenies are just ignorant of the need for ‘baseload’ power.
This is nuclear/coal/natural gas/hydrogen/hydroelectric. These work regardless of weather or time of day.
The idea of the greenies of solar plus wind plus battery storage is a fairy tale. The amount of batteries and inverters and cost is so astronomical as to be ridiculous.

You know the wind and solar industries are in trouble when they’re reduced to muttering about humongous batteries saving their bacon. Around the world, renewable energy rent-seekers have been furio…

Nuclear is the best available option for true baseload real power generation imo.
Fwiw I worked at a plant for a while that did a pilot project that brought in Tesla batteries and inverters with the idea of discharging when electric cost was high (peak) and charging when it was low cost (off peak.)
The project failed and the plant removed the batteries and inverters after 6 years.
No real benefit was realized.
Huh?
Here’s an article in popular science on him from this year.
Apparently works with govt in defense technology now?
How a 14-year-old kid became the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion
At age 10, Taylor Wilson set up a nuclear laboratory in his family's home. Here is the story of how he became the youngest person to experiment with fusion and build a reactor.
www.popsci.com
He created a nuclear fusion reactor in his garage at age 14.

Horowitz: Debt ceiling deal leaves us completely vulnerable to electric car hell
Regarding the debt ceiling negotiations, the New York Times reported, “Mr. McCarthy’s negotiators gave Biden officials the impression that to reach agreement, they needed at least one talking point from every major aspect of the House Republican debt limit bill.” That is, except for one critical...

That effort was in 2012. What has he done since? Looks like he has disappeared.

I think one article I linked above mentioned he worked some in the defense industry.
Perhaps he’s behind closed doors now OR perhaps he was a kid prodigy that flamed out.
I don’t know about him directly.
He seemed to have viable ideas…I don’t know if he’s created nothing tangible that we see due to market conditions or poor reasoning.
My opinion is it’s the former but I have no way to know.
