Total energy input still far higher than output
***Seems like a typo to me.
“Fusion power would avoid the need for long-term storage of radioactive waste. And unlike fossil fuels like coal, it would not produce greenhouse gases that cause global warming.”
BUT!
It DOES PRODUCE ENERGY, which is what the envirowhackos and the Population Control crowd REALLY HATE.
The “pollution” and “warming” memes are just scare tactics, to hide their true agenda.
Break even? Hosrefeathers. What was the energy cost of isolating tritium and deuterium?
BE/A curve says there is energy in them there atoms. Interesting that laser technology appears to be leading the way.
Let the free market decide. If either method has promise (scientifically and economically) I’m sure one of the oil companies or some other deep-pocketed concern will take notice and either buy or replicate the process. Until then it’s all unicorns.
