Virginia governor say US must develop fusion or fall behind China on energy
NEW YORK, March 11 (Reuters) - The United States must expedite its development of fusion energy or risk falling behind China on energy dominance, said Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston on Tuesday.
Virginia is home to the world’s biggest hub of energy-hungry data centers, with about 70% of the world’s internet traffic routing through the state.

Actually, I think investing in fusion would be really sensible. The US government has the money to support science and even if it doesn’t end up giving us useful fusion energy any time soon, there can be all sorts of benefits from working on long-term problems like that.

Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced in December that it planned the first utility-scale fusion power plant, which it would build in Virginia.
One of the really well-know Shark Tank pitches is for I Want to Draw a Cat For You. Recently, in the Shark Tank reddit, the founder of that company did an AMA.

My interpretation is that the cop pulled over the car, had the owner exit the vehicle… and then this lady hopped in and drove it off, right in front of them?
I worked at the Raytown Walmart in 2010 and 2011. I don’t know why it’s the way it is, but yeah, Mama’s Family is a pretty accurate depiction of people from Raytown.
