"All this time," Massie explained, "I thought they were voting for libertarian Republicans. But after some soul searching I realized when they voted for Rand and Ron and me in these primaries, they weren't voting for libertarian ideas — they were voting for the craziest son of a bitch in the race. And Donald Trump won best in class, as we had up until he came along."
Massie's observation that libertarian-minded voters, those who devoted passionate support to Sen. Paul and his father in previous cycles, are likely more attracted to "crazy" personalities than candidates with ideological purity bears important implications for the future of that movement.

But some Austro-libertarians have shifted their aim from smaller, leaner govt to smaller, leaner nuclear reactors. And there may be some method to their madness.
" . . . If you and Gemini are correct about molten salt reactors then you should probably look closely at the Kairos KP-FHR and the TerraPower Natrium reactors. Both are working through the process of moving a First-of-a-Kind reactor design to completion and are limited in scale by the equally complex HALEU/TRISO fuel supply chain.
Meanwhile, the "small" GE-Hitachi BWRX-300 at Darlington reached a major construction milestone earlier this month with the installation of the basemat module. GenIII+ lightwater reactors with traditional fuel bundles may have a life yet.
