Since I was a wee lad (Now 66 y/o), I have been hearing about the likely benefits of fusion energy.
The main two benefits being #1. ‘A virtually endless supply of energy!’ #2. This form of energy is shockingly cheap and apparently easy to produce.
The end to the discussion of Fusion Energy normally goes something like “...But THEY won’t ever allow science to put this plan into action. It would take down Big Energy virtually overnight! There are too many billions of dollars at stake to let that be snatched away, just for the benefit of consumers. The consumers expect to be charged for it anyway.”
I don’t know what it true or not true about it.
I’m no scientist or engineer....or biologist either for that matter.
