And let’s put some of that burgeoning wealth in nuclear, fission and fusion, so that it can take over from gas in the second half of this century. That is an engineerable, clean future.
The US could be doing a lot more for fusion. I don't know why we're not. ITER is never going to be economically viable. Driving it forward has no potential to see us gifting science to foreign nations - when it's done all the science that it can, the US will be 100x faster at applying that science, than any other country could be. There's not reason not to push harder for more ITER science sooner. For more similar projects.

We should be sailing that ship by an ash breeze.
