as any kind of useful thing lol

not the same thing

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

not anytime soon

they have run an ACTUAL molten salt reactor at Oakidge

and it didnt end up going so well

iirc

they have never got fusion to be a net +

salt derived from SJW tears

Ahh

thats only because they are still experimenting with containment for fusion

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?

it DID go so welll

technology advances take time to work out the bugs

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

haha

lol what else is there outside of containment fusion?

u want a gravity well on earth?

When exactly do we expect an energy crisis though

fun

millions of gerbils

earth is a gravity well

not suffficent for fusion

theyre experimenting with different things is all i can say

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

such as?

im no lead MIT researcher my dude

@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.

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

such as magnets

move to a more distributed system

for one

I mean look at our world 200 years ago

No indoor toilets.

I don't want to think about that.

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

No cars no planes fucking nothing

lots of cholera

they had bicycles

😃

Like it wasn't that long ago that everyone was using horse and cart ffs

mmmmm....cholera
