    Huh, wasn’t aware Virginia’s government was looking into these developments. I wonder if this approach to nuclear energy may turn into its next generation approach to the tech, if it can manage to move forward anyway.

      Hard to say, really, and Virginia is quite an interesting microcosm of the country as a whole. There are parts that might as well be 1850 and parts that could easily be Europe too, with a healthy dash of east coast megalopolis thrown in. The north and the east might be for the new tech, but NIMBY, and good luck selling it to the west to house it. It’s like Richmond, nova, and Hampton roads got together and wanted to throw a party, but only in Roanoke. Maybe I’m wrong. Thoughts?
