Now, what would be great is if that analogy could be stretched further. It would pretty wonderful if someone found a way to do fusion where, like a bike, it's stable once it gets going.
- lisper 8y agoWell, that is actually possible. That's what happens in stars and hydrogen bombs. The problem, of course, is that "getting going" for fusion means getting very big. The reason fusion energy is hard is precisely because to be practical and safe we have to "ride slowly".
