So if coldfusion is never going to happen, what is the energy source of the future?

i like it hot though

>According to the Hydrology Department of Henan Province, approximately 26,000 people died at the province[14] from flooding and another 145,000 died during subsequent epidemics and famine.
jesus fuck

Everybody knows dams are retarded. Whats your point?

His point is that nuclear, while thought of as dangerous, is the safest and other sources, thought of as safe, are very dangerous (comparatively).

Is hamster wheel theory even plausible? How many people would have to run for it to work?

Think you meant to reply to but factories, regardless of energy provided, can only produce things from existing materials. They process materials with energy, they don't create them from energy. We don't have Star Trek replicator technology - and that's a long, long way beyond fusion, if it's possible at all.

Extracting materials would be easier, and production would be cheaper, yes, so things would be cheaper, yes. But some necessary materials will always be rare.

...and of course, you still get into all those resources you can't produce. Like time. If the manufacturing industry becomes infinitely effective, and thus essentially background noise, the service industry merely takes over, which is pretty much what we see happening already anyways. Those resources suffer from the same supply/demand issues as any raw material.

Actually, the sad thing is that it's very plausible. There's lots of kinetic energy devices that are sickeningly efficient, the only problem being that you'd need to put some labor into them (in some cases, maybe only once a month or so). ...and that's somehow "inhumane", despite all the manual labor so many billions of humans, and in some cases, animals, are doing every day anyways.

Plus it isn't "neat technology", just looks janky as fuck, and thus doesn't generate much interest, and, probably most importantly, doesn't make you money the way a non-renewable resource does.

The difference is: If I don't want to get fucked by a breaking damn, I don't live near one. That doesn't work so well with a broken reactor.
