::shudders:: Tri Alpha is not backed by me.
Helion is though, which I think has a much better chance of producing commercial fusion power!
- zamalek 11y agoRegardless of who eventually nails it, it's something that Earth desperately needs yesterday.
- sama 11y agoThat part I can agree with!
- humbleMouse 11y agoAre you backing any thorium reactor projects?
- sama 11y agoUPower will be able to use thorium.
- humbleMouse 11y agoVery interesting, thanks for the tip.
- nerfhammer 11y agoIs there a startup that's working on sending fusion reactors to the past?
- nine_k 11y agoSorry! From some blog post of yours, I took the impression that you invested in it, too. On re-reading http://blog.samaltman.com/energy http://blog.samaltman.com/energy I see my mistake. I'm correcting my comment.
- JoshTriplett 11y ago> ::shudders:: Tri Alpha is not backed by me. Why the shudder?
- noir_lord 11y agoPossibly because if Tri-Alpha pulls this off you are looking at a company with the networth/revenue of Royal Dutch Shell in the near future. Would be a hell of a wrong horse to bet on ;).
- toomuchtodo 11y agoI've always wondered if this is truly the case. If the tech is proven to work, it'll leak eventually, and make its way across the world. Some countries might enforce patents on it, but most wouldn't (especially those with the greatest energy demands, India and China).
- loblollyboy 11y agodidn't you have a post about that? I could look it up but maybe include the post in this comment for us lazy and uninformed folks actually here's the one i think i was thinking of http://blog.samaltman.com/energy http://blog.samaltman.com/energy link to helion in the post
