imagine actually trusting the mainstream media

2019-01-23 07:30:23 UTC  

@Serifus i started watching that until i realized it was 6 hours long lol

“By putting the magnet development up front, we think that this gives you a really solid answer in three years,” said Dennis Whyte, director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, in March, “and gives you a great amount of confidence moving forward that you’re giving yourself the best possible chance of answering the key question, which is: Can you make net energy from a magnetically confined plasma?”

@JDM_WAAAT xorgy is calling me a faggot

2019-01-23 07:47:11 UTC  

@xorgy I love how we talk for hours and then you guys mute me because I disagree with you about fusion

2019-01-23 07:47:31 UTC  

@atheist4thecause I didn't mute you, lol

2019-01-23 07:47:36 UTC  

I like fusion too

2019-01-23 07:47:53 UTC  

@xorgy I noticed you can't respond to my point that billionaires such as Peter Theil and Bill Gates say Fusion is the future. You disagree with them. THey put money where their mouth is

2019-01-23 07:48:10 UTC  

I'm just saying, if you want power like... next year, you can definitely make a working molten salt reactor (with either low enriched uranium or thorium) and make actual energy.

2019-01-23 07:48:11 UTC  

you don't put money where your mouth is. you are a kid on the internet that pretends to be an authority, nothing more

2019-01-23 07:48:18 UTC  

if you try to get energy from fusion next year

2019-01-23 07:48:23 UTC  

your chance of getting power is basically zero

2019-01-23 07:48:24 UTC  

I wasn't talking about power for next year

2019-01-23 07:48:37 UTC  

well, you were wondering why people are making a big stink about thorium

2019-01-23 07:48:39 UTC  

I was talking about power that is a paradigm shift for society

2019-01-23 07:48:50 UTC  

the reason is that it makes molten salt reactors attractive from a cost perspective, in the near term

2019-01-23 07:49:01 UTC  

everyone loves fusion

2019-01-23 07:49:07 UTC  

but fission is pretty useful already

2019-01-23 07:49:09 UTC  

so we should use it

2019-01-23 07:49:13 UTC  

if you want a minor short-term gain in power, put billions into thorium. if you want paradigm shifting power, put billions into nuclear fusion

2019-01-23 07:49:16 UTC  

so we can actually power the supercomputers for ITER

2019-01-23 07:49:30 UTC  

I did not say we shouldn't use fission. why strawman me?

2019-01-23 07:49:34 UTC  

we are literally putting trillions of dollars into ITER

2019-01-23 07:49:38 UTC  

shit takes time

2019-01-23 07:49:46 UTC  

so you muted me and called me a troll based on your ignorant misunderstanding of my point

2019-01-23 07:49:50 UTC  

I didn't mute you

2019-01-23 07:49:53 UTC  

nor did I call you a troll

2019-01-23 07:49:54 UTC  

yes you did

2019-01-23 07:49:55 UTC  

no

2019-01-23 07:49:57 UTC  

yup

2019-01-23 07:49:57 UTC  

I did not

2019-01-23 07:49:58 UTC  

yup

2019-01-23 07:50:00 UTC  

you did

2019-01-23 07:50:19 UTC  

I seeee

2019-01-23 07:50:43 UTC  

@xorgy told you

2019-01-23 07:50:53 UTC  

i am currently muted by you
