Joe claiming limitless clean energy as his own doing in how many days?

All of us of age have been here before many times. I noticed this one isn't "cold fusion" however.

Real story = Daryl the janitor hit a cooling water valve with his mop. The resulting explosion was incredibly longer and hotter than anything seen prior. Millions of degrees and more than a second in duration.

They fired Daryl.

Story to salvage the DEE’S reputation after the twinky luggage thief in charge of the nation’s nuclear material is arrested and charged. Always look sideways at the shiny object.

It will not be built becaise of the NImby people and that it will harm the environment. The environmentsl impact report alone will delay it by 30 years.

There's nothing wrong with "Fossil fuels" They're completely natural, from compost. They're...like..."Organic"....Man.

No, we're pretty sure now the formation of crude, coal, and natural gas in the earth's crust is abiotic. The "fossil" fuels aren't derived from the stored energy of dead plants and animals, but from the stored energy of dying stars a few billion years ago.

scientists have reached a breakthrough in nuclear fusion in their quest to produce a technology to provide clean, unlimited and affordable power.

They said the exact same thing about nuclear fission in the 1950s.

Not part of the limited energy plan.

So who will get it built? Not the Chinese. They steal everything. The Europeans? They're crazier than the Americans. The Chinese? They're like the Russians. The best bet may be the Israeli. They're in a hostile environment. So they are innovative. And they've developed a nuclear program.

Benchtop experiment doesn't equate to a high capacity utility fusion reactor.

...but it can be used to try to justify a large budget increase at Lawrence Livermore / University of California.

Then explain the fossils.

Kind of like when we will all die because the planet caught on fire.

In other news, perpetual motion machine within reach! Show me a working model, at least.

I beg to differ good sir. Biden and his press secretary are a perpetual motion machine of lies. Prove me wrong! :)

"The overwhelming preponderance of geological evidence compels the conclusion that crude oil and natural petroleum gas have no intrinsic connection with biological matter originating near the surface of the Earth. They are primordial materials which have been erupted from great depths."

***U.S. officials expected to announce fusion energy breakthrough in clean, unlimited power***

# Solar power generation had to be abandoned due to environmental damage in the manufacturing process.

# Wind power generation had to be stopped due to the killing of thousands of birds.

# Hydroelectric power generation had to be squashed due to inability of salmon to swim upstream past the dams.

# Nuclear fusion power generation had to be halted due to interference with the mating habits of the snail darter.

# Human reproduction population generation had to be truncated due to the arrogance of the global elite.

# Food production had to be severely diminished due to deleterious effects on climate change.

# Fossil fuel production and extraction had to be annihilated due to the wrong people getting rich off of it.

# Education of youth in the three R's had to be perverted due to the need for unthinking zombies to yield completely to statist power.

# All dictionary terms had to be redefined due to constantly changing Orwellian realities.

Zero point energy, that is the breakthrough they need to tell us about. When “they” have sufficiently reached their goals, then they will break out the floating vessels we now call UFO’s. That is more believable than them thinking solar and wind will power prosperity.
