Electrical supplies to depend on form of government?

Well, that shoots to hell the whole "internet as engine of change" thing unless they become battery-operated.

If we are to reduce greenhouse gases, it will need to be a global effort. If it is to be a global effort, we can't restrict access to appropriate technologies based on politics.

Power reactors need to be of a specific design to produce weapons-grade fuel. It's very difficult to hide a whole reactor if it's going to be part of the electrical grid. Of course, it is possible to experiment with a power reactor to see whether one can produce weapons-grade uranium or plutonium with it once in a while. It requires that one override, deliberately, several key safety protocols. The people who ran Chernobyl, those who are still alive, would know the consequences of that.
