- mikeyouse 5y agoI'd like to see a side-by-side... The sun is always in the sky, just not where power is needed. If you look at the global investment into fusion, I wonder by what order of magnitude that compares to scrapping that work and building HVDC lines East-West to major population centers and North-South to places with super-high availability wind resources. We could basically build those "tomorrow" as compared to spending billions/year in research and then tens of billions/year in actual construction cost when we figure out the technology. Not a 'fair' comparison by any stretch but I think it'd be interesting.
