Only 30 years away!....................
In before Mr. Fusion.
Hey that’s great. Pretty soon we’ll all be shining like the sun as we are incinerated and glowing in the dark like the stars...
The cost of fusion is too high... Tens and tens of millions of lost jobs and trillions being taken away from some very wealthy individuals. Even if they actually develop it... They’ll never tell anybody.
The elites and governments will keep it for themselves and keep it secret from the rest of us.
We’ll have flying cars first.
the big question is as to whether fusion is 20 years off as ususal or 5 years off.
One fusion company, Helion has signed a purchase power agreement with microsoft to provide one of their facilities in Washington state with electricity from their fusion plant for .01@kwh. That contract stipulates the due date as 2028
They might fail. but the fact that the contract was signed suggests high confidence in that the will succeed in relatively short order.
I didn’t see any of that in this article. The guy who wrote didn’t seem to know. I think he’s from the other side of the pond.
Fusion power has been with us all along.
The sun has created many different forms of power through its fusion. We have actually used and continue to use the ‘converted’ forms of power from that fusion. Direct fusion is above us as we speak, and the converted fusion power is below our feet all throughout the world.
Oil and gas and coal and other forms of power, are gifted to us as converted power from the sun.
Lockheed-Martin said they’d have it by 2024.
They said that about nine years ago, IIRC.
L-M owns (what used to be called) Sandia National Laboratory.
We’ll all die from climate change first.
Fusion power: Are we getting any closer?
—
No, because the whole theory is flawed, if stars do not actually work by fusion - its a theory, not a fact.
One point twenty one gigawatts!! Great Scott!!
We are 93,000,000 miles away from fusion power.

Let’s just hope Doc Ock doesn’t get any ideas on how to destroy us all.
‘“And we do need fusion on this planet, badly.”’
Science is now a religion.
“But this approach to fusion is probably many decades from being a practical way to generate electricity.”
Sounds eerily familiar.
“...the carbon-free energy source...”
Ugh. Spare us.
And that event, which lasted only about one-tenth of a nanosecond
Man, one kilowatt hour of this could get pricey.
Fusion is and always was a foolish pursuit. Even if it is achieved the fuel is not available. If it was available it would be too expensive.
