    Nonsense. Laws are unethical all the time. That's why we assassinate politicians and their financial backers.

    country? any individual person is more like it.

    uranium isotopes are too hard. just convert u238 into pu239 with fast neutrons from a fusor. all it takes it electricity and time, and then you can separate the fissile from the matrix chemically, which is much easier.

    making a fission bomb is incredibly easy, once you have enough pu239. i mean it is century-old physics, achievable with your great-grandfather's technology. c'mon.

    it is a lot of electric however. i recommend investing in a hydro station.

    Essentially, the OP is militating for a centralized dictator to deal with the emergency. "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." Thus spake Rahm Emanuel. The tradition extends from Sulla to Napoleon to every petty Don, triad leader, or military dictator of our own era.

    In fact, when stuff gets real, there will be no lack of opportunists seizing all infrastructurally available power to respond to the crisis. The best process known for dealing with the pre-crisis stage is the democratic process. It is sub-optimal for any given threat, but has the merit of being a tolerable living condition which is capable of responding to the broad range of threats which arise in the ordinary course of events.
