halite Melting point 800.7°C

2019-08-13 04:36:29 UTC  

fusion reactors

2019-08-13 04:36:35 UTC  

i wouldnt say fusion reactors exist tho

2019-08-13 04:36:36 UTC  

good luck with that

2019-08-13 04:36:43 UTC  

as any kind of useful thing lol

2019-08-13 04:36:44 UTC  

not the same thing

2019-08-13 04:36:56 UTC  

Fusion isn't going to be possible in a sustainable manner

2019-08-13 04:37:02 UTC  

not anytime soon

2019-08-13 04:37:04 UTC  

they have run an ACTUAL molten salt reactor at Oakidge

2019-08-13 04:37:12 UTC  

and it didnt end up going so well

2019-08-13 04:37:12 UTC  

iirc

2019-08-13 04:37:17 UTC  

they have never got fusion to be a net +

2019-08-13 04:37:20 UTC  

salt derived from SJW tears

2019-08-13 04:37:28 UTC  

Ahh

2019-08-13 04:37:35 UTC  

thats only because they are still experimenting with containment for fusion

2019-08-13 04:37:36 UTC  

We'll eventually crack fusion, but we need to plan on it not happening for another century or two.

How do we solve the energy crisis, if fusion is 100-200 years away?

2019-08-13 04:37:37 UTC  

it DID go so welll

2019-08-13 04:37:40 UTC  

technology advances take time to work out the bugs

2019-08-13 04:37:49 UTC  

I remember when the donald sent like 2 tonnes of salt to CNN headquarters

2019-08-13 04:38:02 UTC  

haha

2019-08-13 04:38:07 UTC  

lol what else is there outside of containment fusion?

2019-08-13 04:38:14 UTC  

u want a gravity well on earth?

2019-08-13 04:38:18 UTC  

When exactly do we expect an energy crisis though

2019-08-13 04:38:19 UTC  

fun

2019-08-13 04:38:21 UTC  

millions of gerbils

2019-08-13 04:38:26 UTC  

earth is a gravity well

2019-08-13 04:38:39 UTC  

not suffficent for fusion

2019-08-13 04:38:59 UTC  

theyre experimenting with different things is all i can say

2019-08-13 04:39:00 UTC  

its going to have to be a mix of sources depending on what is locally avaliable

2019-08-13 04:39:05 UTC  

such as?

2019-08-13 04:39:06 UTC  

im no lead MIT researcher my dude

2019-08-13 04:39:06 UTC  

@ManAnimal - Fusion is possible, and it will happen, but we've been saying it's "30 years away" for the past 50 years. I think 100 years is a more realistic time scale. It's going to take time, but eventually we WILL crack the problem.

2019-08-13 04:39:10 UTC  

The world is going to look very different in 100 years let alone 200

2019-08-13 04:39:12 UTC  

such as magnets

2019-08-13 04:39:12 UTC  

move to a more distributed system

2019-08-13 04:39:14 UTC  

for one

2019-08-13 04:39:19 UTC  

I mean look at our world 200 years ago

2019-08-13 04:39:37 UTC  

No indoor toilets.

I don't want to think about that.

2019-08-13 04:39:38 UTC  

@Arthur Grayborn i'd agree with that; 100 yrs... by which time prolly won't matter

2019-08-13 04:39:40 UTC  

No cars no planes fucking nothing

2019-08-13 04:39:59 UTC  

lots of cholera
