Here I am with my latest model.
I’ll believe it when I SEE IT.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Only 20 years to go.
Dust this off again? Trust me. It’s always a decade away. Has been since the mid 70’s.
I wish! Watch Biden and Kerry sell it to Iran.
we will be shivering in the cold

about the latest breakthrough in fusion energy
but they need MORE MONEY ,LOL
wow! they got it to work for a billionth of a second ... just think what that means when they get it to work a thousand times longer! oh, wait, that would mean they could get it to work for a millisecond ...
They’ll never let us have it.
Here I am with my latest model.
Wo, electricity too cheap to even meter it. I can’t wait!
/s
oops, that would be a million times longer to get to a millisecond ...
Its al least 10 years out. More because of the many EPA regulations, permits & licensees etc, enviro-wacko lawsuits, and the fact that they have not succeeded in scaling it up. Then they would have to actually build one so add more years for permits lawsuits licenses regulations building inspectors inspections.
So...no more climate change to worry about?
“a lot of technical and engineering challenges” is putting it mildly. Politicians are giddy about this and rushing to the mics to take credit for being a part of it (they’re not.) Knowledgeable physicists are far more restrained. Interesting discussion at WUWT.
The Sun can afford to piss energy away, generating light, neutrons and storing a bunch up in larger fused nuclei. It is collapsing under its own gravity.
These “scientists” are chasing money.
Sounds like a huge money trap
Next major milestone will be in 2072. A doubling of the 2022 test results.
Does anyone else think this fusion breakthrough timing is very convenient?
Just when states are passing laws banning sale of ICE vehicles by 2030 and requiring the phaseout of fossil fuels and that solar and wind inadequacy has become obvious in Europe, the argument against banning fossil fuels is now moot. We will suddenly have clean fusion energy with as early as ten years (although 50 or 60 years was first claimed), so don’t worry. Go ahead and ban those evil fossil fuels. Trust us.
Why use so much pressure. Can’t they simply ask the hydrogen atoms nicely to come together? I mean...It’s a hell of a start that could be made into a monster...if we all pull together as a team.
