From Crooks and Liars;

“…Loureiro is known for his research on how plasma works, "particularly turbulence and the physics underpinning solar flares & other astronomical phenomena." He was studying how to harness clean "fusion power" to combat climate change."

“Considering the potential for fusion energy, was that a factor in his murder?”

1. is that what The Dump Crime Family just invested in? Some merger....

2. Excellent question. Back in the 60's an inventor in St. Louis was found murdered.

He had another steam engine that was good enough. All that disappeared at the scene., Since Ford had bought a previous steam engine for many millions and shelved it, whose "turn" was it then to avoid circumventing their pals who sell gasoline?

3. WOW

I know not exactly the same, but my father died a long time ago (late 1980s) and he was far from a Liberal as he distrusted big government, but he equally distrusted big business. He was an electrical engineer, and he felt like the ability to get car fuel efficiency should have been way better. He said when someone figures it out, that person will either be paid off or killed. I was baffled and questioned him, he said when that happens the amount of money lost to the oil companies would be staggering, so much so that murder becomes justifiable to people like that.

10. I do believe this

that some corporations hire economic hit men........a theory I first heard about carburetors in the 60's.....if they can't convince with cadres of lobbyists and bribes they will get desperate. Sad.

12. The thing is that they would be crazy not to have people like that.

4. Iran retaliating for academic assassinations.

5. Commerce

Always comes down to money, personal or crazy. My money, is on money, with this one. Someone wanted to get paid, or wasn't getting paid, or wasn't getting what they felt paid for. YMMV

6. cuz he was a jew?

there r lists out there, ppl.

[Prairie Gates]

9. Was he?

I saw a claim that that was a rumor started on a conservative Substack and that there has been no verification of it. Curious to see your sourcing.

7. Could be anything.

[Sneederbunk]

11. Could be domestic.

8. I and several other posters discussed this on the day of his murder. Conspiracy theory maybe, but a reasonable

motive none the less.

13. TY for bringing this to our attention...

I hope Investigators Do find our who did this and Why?

14. No. Not even close. Fusion energy will not be a threat to any major...

...form of energy for decades, if ever.

Nobody really knows how to convert 14 MeV neutrons into exergy (usable energy) even if they can make said neutrons reliably.

I don't oppose fusion research, as there are important spinoffs from plasma science, but the expectations for commercial applications as an energy device have decades of hype to support them and no results.

For now the best and cleanest form of energy is nuclear fission, but much to the happiness of the fossil fuel industry it has been demonized, largely by people incompetent to understand it.
