Sure it is, Nuclear doesn't just mean uranium fission, fusion reactors are nuclear as well and they will be a big thing in the future and we get better at doing it.
- nostromo 11y agoJust 20 more years now... ;-)
- gnaritas 11y agoProgress takes time, but it is the future of energy.
- NickM 11y ago> fusion reactors are nuclear as well and they will be a big thing in the future I used to think this as well, but I'm not sure I believe it anymore. I suspect that by the time we're able to make fusion power work, the solar/wind/batteries combo may be so cheap as to make fusion pointless for mainstream power generation.
- gnaritas 11y agoSolar is fusion being mainstream :) however, smaller more local reactors will I think still be a huge part of our future as well.
