- bsder 9y agoProbably the only tech video I have watched completely in the last 12 months (I hate video--it's such a slow way to transmit information). While it clearly is a bit of marketing for his own baby (tokamak with modern superconducting magnets), it has a lot of good technical points. The big one being that tokamak is the only fusion technology anywhere near being commercially feasible--by several orders of magnitude.
