Being able to harness the power that drives the sun is the holy grail of physics and engineering.
So far nuclear fusion power has remained theoretical because of the costs of building a nuclear fusion reactor reliable and cheap enough to operate.
The day that could be practicable may soon be drawing near.
We’ve been able to use thermonuclear fusion for a while. Just not constructively. Well, with this new system, I guess a working fusion reactor is only 10 years away. Just like it has been for the past 50 years.
They seem to be going from an idea to an actual working plant, without a pilot plant in the middle.
Nuts.
Who has 2.7 billion of beer money to throw at this -— Uncle Sugar, or if you like, Uncle Solyndra.
“The day that could be practicable may soon be drawing near.”
The day it is presented to the public will be after they
have total control over society. Do you really think they
are going to allow that kind of technology out? People
will either build their own generators or bombs in their
garage. The only reason they can keep a lid on nukes now
is because of the unavailability of fissionable material.
No way they are going to allow any Mr. Fusion home fusion
generators.
Fusion power has been about 30 years away for my entire adult life, which is longer than 30 years.
The day that could be practicable may soon be drawing near.
Just how much longer do you plan on living?
