Thought I'd throw up a controversial topic in economics ![]() Mercantilism is where the government takes control of an economy to bring down the economies of other governments. Green mercantilism is where the government takes control of the green sector specifically, and tries to out-green all the other governments. An example was when China nationally exported solar panels below market rates, making it difficult for solar manufacturers in other countries (primarily the USA) to compete. However, it also meant solar panels became much more affordable and the environment may have become more green. What's your stand on green mercantilism? |

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say here. I may be misinterpreting you, but it's impossible for fusion reactors to meltdown like fission reactors. |

You're right - in that paragraph I was specifically referring to current reactors, not future ones. The inability to melt down is a huge advantage of fusion, molten core etc. Edit: to clarify, in such a "sudden" circumstance, it wouldn't meltdown, it would simply go outside its normal limits. If it wasn't designed to deal with that, the reactor would simply break. Edited by Larsland, Jun 21 2015, 05:18 PM.
