Right...
Within a decade, solar will have dropped another 300% and "next gen nuclear" will still be 10 years away.
At this point, it's a dead heat between next gen nuclear and fusion.
- rswail 5y agoWe already have fusion. It's a 24/7 fusion reactor that requires no supervision or maintenance. There are minor energy losses due to its transmission being over 8 light-minutes in distance, but it provides 50% cover of the entire planet 100% of the time.
- deeviant 5y agoOh your talking about wireless fusion power. Yeah, that's cool stuff. I actually made the same joke about 10 years ago while working for a CPV (concentrated photovoltaic) startup collaborating with Sandia National laboratory. I was talking to a Sandia researcher who was working on their huge fusion-inducing laser and he was all pumped up about it, then, I mentioned that I really don't know what the big deal was, we already had working fusion power. The joke did not go over too well.
