Fusion is coming

this, just because we have the technical capability to construct a sustainable fusion reactor doesnt mean its an economic or political reality. I also have yet to see any reasonable solutions for making any proposed design actually safe lol its not like most of the current fission designs, if something goes wrong it literally detonates. I am a big proponent of fusion technologies and ITER in general but people need to maintain a realistic view on it, its not going to solve the worlds energy crisis by continuing our constant expansion and consumption

This thread isn't about ITER OR Pistons
Read niggas, EMC2 is magneto-electrostatic fusion

Fusion happened ages ago. Profitable fusion will, at the rate its going, never happen because advancements in other areas of energy are cheaper, greater, and more practical.
The bottom line is that Fusion is TOO powerful. It destroys all the things which try to convert it into usable energy. In order to make Fusion practical and profitable, it will not be a matter of funding and R&D, but will have to be the invention a completely new method of converting the power. Until that happens there's no point dumping good money into a scorched pipe dream.

Yeah I know about them. Look at 48:45 in the vid

Their highest achievements aren't so impressive.

How does your argument not also apply to Fission? Or anything else?
Stuff gets hot. Heat flux to water. We're really good with steam and turbines. We get electricity. We do all sorts of things with electricity.
>Coal happened ages ago. Profitable coal, will, at this rate its going, never happen because advancements in logging and wood furnaces are cheaper, greater, and more practical.

Until that happens, there's no point in dumping good money into a black pipe dream.

>What is steam?

How will fusion compete with solar+wind+battery when the average reactor will cost $15 billion?

By producing meme magic at the rate that all combined cannot keep up without spending more...
