Fuckin’ A… I don’t have a charitable explanation for why folks are holding their breath for another neutron source, while the world burns.

The reality is that there is no charitable explanation. On a global scale, society doesn’t care about what the world is like and what humanity will have to deal with 100, 200, or 500 years from now. We care about things like finding our next meal or finding our next Amazon package on our doorstep.
We don't actually need or want extra neutrons. We have all the neutrons we will ever want, right where they already are.

Protons will become increasingly valuable, after being separated from oxygen.
