Possibly, but it’s way too early to give up on fusion now, especially considering its benefits - clean fuel, clean byproducts, less risk of meltdown and similar disaster vs fission.
- pfdietz 8y agoActually, it's long past time to give up on fusion, at least DT fusion. It's been known since at least the 1980s it would have lousy power density. DT fusion's putative advantages don't make up for that, nor for its grave operating issues (frequent replacement of major components and serious reliability/repairability problems.)
