Promising, maybe we’ll see a working fusion reactor in 30 years.

Don’t know if the Left wants a solution to energy though, if Fusion became a thing, they would shut it down immediately because it would be too beneficial to civilization.

With a breakthrough like this, fusion power is probably only 25 years away ...

Naw, it'll be 10 years. 10 years until we get the next "We're only 10 years away"

Of all the fusion designs, the Tomamak is the best one if you want to have a full career and retire. It WILL NEVER work. It is too complicated.

The guy who thought "Hey, lets use molten lithium as a shield wall" should have been given a free Pinochet helicopter ride.

What the lame-brains in academia are too stupid to grasp is that free market capitalism is what makes such miracles of scientific discovery possible.

Biden has been working on a Tokamak reactor in his basement. We had one in the school I attended. Probably explains his memory loss and weirdness.

My electrodynamics prof worked was a fusion researcher. He said it was 10 years away. That was in 1971.

If the leftists had been powerful years ago, they would have banned antibiotics and anesthetics. They oppose anything that helps humanity. They want most people to live in poverty, disease and squalor.

From the "Way Back Machine" - an early instance - see the Matterhorn Project, circa 1950s.

Magnetic containment of plasma - pitched then as "free energy" - it did spawn tons of PhD's over the years.

Free energy - not so much.

Waiting for a working fusion reactor is like waiting for a DOJ indictment. Tick tick....

“ITER, the massive international fusion device under construction in the south of France“

Hopefully construction will be complete before the sun runs out of fuel.

Check is in the mail

Socialism will work this time!

Islam is a peaceful religion.

Indictments coming soon

Fusion power is only 20 years away!

I will still respect you in the morning.
