From theoretical standpoint why not jump ahead to antimatter? :)
Electricity is a solved problem, most obstacles to additional power generation and transport are bureaucratic in nature.
- Hypx 6y agoAs soon as everyone agrees to build more nuclear power... We're not anywhere near ready to use anti-matter, but the next best thing faces extreme opposition for some reason. Hydrogen is pretty much a solved problem too. Most of the critics are just stuck in 2010 or earlier.
- rini17 6y agoI did not have primarily nuclear in mind, but obstacles to extending long-distance electric grid to support renewables. But hydrogen pipelines are going to have even worse problem with this. And you did not really debunk any of my "stuck in 2010" criticism.
- Hypx 6y agoHydrogen pipelines are a solved problem. We have been doing it for decades[1]. I could have said "stuck in 1930" but that might be overdoing it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_pipeline_transport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_pipeline_transport
