This is an interesting idea--I think I read in Popular Science that a Japanese company had a contract with one of the Aleutian Islands for a pocket nuke.

I think you'll see much more of this--call it the democratization of energy. Somebody, not the government, will figure out how to make solar and wind energy worth using. Somebody, not the government, will figure out how to make coal conversion to methanol doable in your garage. Somebody, not the government, will figure out a way to transmute radioactive waste material into a short term problem.

Hopefully the prospective inventors aren't going to a government school.
