    Ah, rereading I now see what your intent.

    Perhaps “feasible” wasn’t the word I was looking for so much as “realistic.” It’s going to be an uphill battle convincing profit-based companies to produce a cheap, green alternative but I’d love to be proven wrong. Short of fascism I do think government nudging of the market through grants etc is something we sorely need to get moving on, because money is the only thing that speaks to these giant faceless corporations.

      Nudging - yes, grants - no.

      I’d personally just like some weakening of patent, IP, trademark etc laws. We are at a point when these work for companies too big to not be malicious.

      Anyway, the cheap green alternative is called a nuclear reactor. I’ve read there are some smaller, more compact models in testing.
