This tech may actually be close to viability. My only question is how are the Climate Change Cultists going to object to it. You know they will. Why? Because the cult has nothing to do with climate. It’s goal is Marxism and the destruction of Western civilization. Period.
Fusion is always about 20 years away from actually producing commercial power. It’s not anywhere close to practicality. I read that you have to get about eight times the energy out that you put in the plasma to break even to account for all of the energy used by the magnets, the cooling machinery, the transformer losses, etc. and then there’s the amortization of the capital costs. I’m beginning to think that fusion energy is just a form of welfare for engineers and physicists.
Exactly. This should be marketed towards solving poverty in third world countries. Access to reliable, cheap energy is what made America great. It could lift everyone.
unfortunately, we know the truth and it isn’t their goals are not altruistic.
Its still a long way to go.
1) They need to sustain 200M constantly and contained in a magnetic field.
2) The primary radiation from fusion power is neutrons and they need to somehow be converted into usable energy.
3) They are still very far away from generating enough power to run the plant.
Right now they don’t have enough energy to light a Chrismas tree.
They are going to go back to “humans are destroying the habitat of animals with their farming and their trash” again.
