A clean source of energy thats infinitely more efficient than fossil fuels, solar, or wind.

This is going to change the entire world, and its super exciting. Oil and gas will only be used to create petroleum for plastics. No more gasoline.

Fucking exciting for the future.

good thing regular dumb people have no say in the matter.

theyll take whatever technology is most efficient and most powerful, which will be nuclear fusion.

this is very small scale nuclear fusion. Doesnt do dangerous stuff if it fails.

Brah, local people have too much of a say in restricting the building of many things. Mainly through zoning and fake environmental concerns.

Housing, public transportation, etc. Regular dumb people having too much of a say is an already existing issue and has been for a long time.
People underestimate the power of local people in stopping progress.

People will oppose building new housing for hundreds of people because they fear it will create traffic on their street!! Then talk about how they care about the cost of housing.

No. Fusion reactions are extremely fragile and if anything goes wrong the entire thing just stops.

We would be carbon neutral by now if we just pushed on nuclear energy.

With fusion, it sounds like we've been making small incremental progress on a problem that is very far from being solved.

Fusion is a global energy solution. Fission reactors come with nuclear weapons baggage. Fusion reactor technology can be safely shared with anyone without concern for it being weaponized.

no it doesnt.

we use fission reactions, which require uranium or plutonium, both are highly unstable, radioactive, and generally nasty. they contaminate the reactor, and the water used to cool the reactor becomes "toxic waste"

this is fusion, which uses hydrogen (actually deuterium, a hydrogen isotope) and compresses it into helium which releases plasma that would be harnessed into electricity. there is no radioactivity going on. could it explode? not really, no. even if it did, it would be a "clean" explosion.

the article doesn't mention this but im pretty sure i read about this thing last year and the team used AI to control the reaction. the reactions are very unstable but AI is getting very, very good and so this seems likely to become a thing within 10 years even.

Because the full extent of the damage caused by fossil fuels is slow and incremental. And when something like the BP oil spill happens it's not nearly as dramatic as stuff like Chernobyl.

It would take something equally dramatic and horrifying happening in like, an oil rig or a coal mine for the wider public to start taking it seriously.

So 2 events in 70 years have everyone shook.

How much pollution and eco damage have oil and coal plants done to the world in the same amount of time?

How many oil spills have we seen in that same time? How many have died working on rigs or in the mines and plants?

big car companies and oil companies won't earn as much from a working public transport system and efficient power.
