If its real, it’ll be attacked. Its not about clean energy, its about destroying humanity.

The Earth will run out of hydrogen.
It will turn into helium and escape into space.
The Earth will lose mass.
It will go out of its orbit.
Everything will die.
Stop fusion now.

What’s your time frame for all of this?

I’d love to see their preliminary design ideas for the magnetic containment.

Fusion? Isn't that what they use in Hydrogen bombs?
We have to stop this now before it's too late!
To: econjack
What’s your time frame for all of this? For all pie in the sky inventions it is always 5 to 10 years. :)

Yes, if this is indeed the breakthrough, it will be VERY interesting to watch. I won't go so far as to say that destruction is the goal, but absolute control over where you live, (they want you herded into controlled cities from hell), how you live (space-limited concrete boxes) and what you eat (vegetarian only).
The goal is to control the energy industry in total and recreate the serf class.
Very interesting.

The sun would have burned out, turned into a white dwarf and then cooled into a black dwarf BEFORE THAT could ever HAPPEN...
Several TRILLION YEARS!

Several TRILLION YEARS! That is a very short time compared to how long the sarcasm of his post will endure.

Thank you for anticipating the Hank Johnson position.

LOL!
Seriously, when I was majoring in Nuclear Engineering in the early 70’s fusion was anticipated to be technically viable no less than 20-30 years into the future. As far as I can see, it’s still the same story. [shrugs]

Practical fusion energy has been 30 years away for at least the last 40 years.

Much more practical, available now, tested and proven; nuclear power from thorium fueled reactors.

No mention of cost, of course.
Fusion will not replace hydrocarbon energy if it costs multiples more to produce.
But, silly me, cost-benefit analysis is obsolete in today’s unlimited borrow & spend world!
To: tony549
There is $32 billion in the Nuclear Waste Disposal Fund, the money paid in by electric consumers.
Currently, 64,000 tons of waste are stored at various US nuke plants.
Only 5 percent of the energy in nuclear fuel rods is extracted. 95 percent is considered waste...
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Betcha the EPA already has their crack number one team plotting against fusion.
This is a nightmare for them.
