Lol, I'm no communist but I do appreciate that market forces alone will never address the carbon/energy problem, let alone the wider problem of pollution overall. Just because someone has the money do to so doesn't mean that we should support them burning away the energy to light a small city simply to get to their vacation spot a few hours faster than on a private jet.

How about reaching a dying father a few hours faster? A middle class person might judge the extra $5-10k (from savings) worth it.

If SpaceX/energy company deploys a new nuclear power plant (and one day fusion) to provide the energy, why should you care? It's a new energy source and not competing away your personal idea of worthwhile energy use.
