> That is not a bad thing: solar and wind are wholly up to the task Exactly! If we just used every last drop of fossil fuels we had to build, ship, and constantly replace solar and wind generators (and do the same for the massive battery arrays we'll need), nuclear will be a distant memory. > fission reactors are today not competitive ...because price =/= cost. Fission is the least costly form of energy generation, but our economy is too worthlessly opaque to realize the true cost of building all those beloved solar panels. If we got price and cost more in parity, nuclear would be the painfully obvious choice. Markets fail yet again, I suppose. > The only reliable product of the hot-neutron fusion research industry is dishonesty. I can agree with you there. Every few months there's a "breakthrough!!" article where Qtotal is still < 0.01...cool, that's helpful...
