This is China, let’s give it some time and see just how truthful this is LOL.

Yeah, me too. I had the $7 box from Taco Bell the other night.

I guess it would be rude of me to suggest tossing in...
This will have deep ramifications for the development of huge power sources for the development and maturation of AI.
We should be concerned.
Imagine a submarine powered by a fusion reactor?
A miniature fusion reactor could bring about the true development of electric vehicles.
Meanwhile the USA has suffered huge setbacks in this field....our money goes to illegal aliens and to Ukraine, huge bottomless sinkholes created by the woke.
Did it produce more energy than it consumed?
And you still have RAS (Reliabilty, Availabilty, Servicabilty) issues before it can become a reliable source of large-scale power.
Imagine the impact of that upon our weather and atmosphere.
Doncha just LOVE science typists who don’t understand science?
“… scientists have been working on this technology for more than 70 years, and it’s likely not progressing fast enough to be a practical solution to the climate crisis. ”
So, let’s put on our thinking caps here. We already KNOW CO2 is NOT a driver of global warming/climate change.
While nuclear fusion MAY one day replace “fossil” fuels and , say, trees and biomass for the planet’s daily energy requirements to run civilization (industry, transportation, homes, etc.), the net energy produced is EXOTHERMIC and will STILL add HEAT to the atmosphere.
Changing the SOURCE of heat won’t change the amount of heat.
Remember, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred, and NO transfer is 100%. Losses through friction, convection, conduction, radiation to and out of end-use technology (stoves, HVAC, cars, etc) will still add energy into a closed system - the planet.
Econazis will eventually figure this out and distribute, limit, ration, the use of power to those in power (the elitists), and their friends, family, neighbors, etc. same as it’s always been.
Fusion scientists make up more propaganda than climate scientists. Big money attracts even bigger, smarter liars. These experiments create explosive supernova conditions, not happy warm sunny conditions. Like other speculative nuclear ventures of the past, the first fusion reactor that goes supernova, blasting radioactive contamination all over the place, will be the end of this expensive folly. A retired fusion scientist admitted his field is a dead-end for the foreseeable future. Fusion scientists know that, so dial back their experiments a bit to keep their money train running as long as possible, or at least until retirement. What a waste of genius talent.
Well that’s quite an achievement, congratulations.
And our meth heads are really good at starting fires in LA

Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Of course it did. /sarc
