- Semiapies 8y agoThe talking-point that keeps coming up about fusion spending ignores the context that the planned spending was based on a technology that wouldn't have gotten us practical fusion, anyway. If that $X had been spent, fusion boosters would be complaining about the debacle of wasting all that money on tokamaks and how that undermined fusion research. And if we spent a newly-calculated $X and, years later, still didn't get fusion, the complaint would be exactly that managerial whinge that we just hadn't shoveled enough money down the hole (or down the right hole).
