You have some illogical arguments in there, but we're working on that.

A panoptical AI will localize your location 'Earth' to California. But I agree, I'd use
Spaceship Earth.

It's not unusual for some people to moan about California. Any idea why you do?

I had a
Don't Californicate Oregon sticker on the back of my (bumperless) VW bus in the 1960s. But I was sitting in a meeting of the White Bird free clinic, and someone was making a pitch to get his uncle from Russia and get him a dentist's license. At that point I started seeing Californians as neighbors.

Not speaking for oilpan4, but I go with, in corporate-speak, "Past performance does not guarantee future results".

A company racing to be among the first to operate a small nuclear reactor in the United States received a vote of confidence from the federal government Friday after encountering recent roadblocks.
The Energy Department approved a $1.4 billion grant to help defray costs for a group of utilities that are the first in line to buy power from the reactors produced by NuScale Power.
The Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, a group of small, community-owned utilities in six Western states, had previously indicated the group might pull out of the NuScale project unless it received the extra funding from the government.
“It is entirely appropriate for DOE to help de-risk this first-of-a-kind, next generation nuclear project,” said Douglas Hunter, UAMPS CEO and general manager, announcing DOE’s approval of the grant. “This is a great example of a partnership with DOE to lower the cost of introduction of transformative advanced nuclear technology that will provide affordable, carbon-free electricity all over the country and the world.”
