There wasn’t any analysis to take apart!

Any decade now.

Lol...I had the same "reaction" (see what I did there?). I've read stories like this for 40 years.

Yup. Kinda disappointing to see the lack of real progress.

Lets say they came up with real cheap fusion tomorrow.

You know the Left would fall all over themselves to ban it for some reason...................

Hahah, my prediction came true.

Water is a critical crucial finite resource that nuclear fuzziation will deplete putting the survival of the Ouagadougou red snaildarter in peril.

Can’t have it.

"If fusion breaks through, desalination of the oceans will make hundreds of current deserts around the world into gardens of Eden. Australia will become a superpower, and Africa will come into its own."

America has plenty of deserts that could benefit from desalinated water.

The amount of power that is available is really game-changing.” The fuel used to create fusion energy comes from water, and “the Earth is full of water — it’s a nearly unlimited resource. We just have to figure out how to utilize it.”

This is a lie. In magnetically confined fusion half the fuel is Tritium which decays with a 12.5 year half-life. The amount of natural tritium is therefore negligible and to get tritium you have to breed it. Turns out based on very simple math that even with 100% recovery and conversion efficiency, tritium breeding from fusion is a losing proposition [you get back fewer tritium atoms than you start with]. So, this MIT geology professor lied.

And then there is this little problem of actually getting fusion to work on anything smaller than a nuclear bomb.

Wrong. It's been a hybrid as well as fully electric.
