your chance of getting power is basically zero

I wasn't talking about power for next year

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

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

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

everyone loves fusion

but fission is pretty useful already

so we should use it

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

so we can actually power the supercomputers for ITER

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

we are literally putting trillions of dollars into ITER

shit takes time

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

I didn't mute you

nor did I call you a troll

yes you did

no

yup

I did not

yup

you did

I seeee

@xorgy told you

i am currently muted by you

thanks for proving my point

and now no conversation is going on in chat

I got chat going, and chat died when you guys muted me

@xorgy fuck off 😉

lol

@xorgy how is your chat in voice going since muting me?

@xorgy fusion is amazing, thorium is just okay, and we don't even know all of the downsides of what might happen with thorium yet: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-30/nuclear-fusion-financed-by-billionaires-bill-gates-jeff-bezos

we have a limited amount of money, so why bet on thorium fission over nuclear fusion?

@xorgy I love how you are talking shit about me

when I'm not even in the chat. you are one classy mother fucker

mute me then talk shit about me when i leave

you're doing this shit to yourself

why _me_

how about you guys stop talking shit about me after you mute me

and after i leave

@xorgy I didn't say it's only you. i said it was all of you
