Why is someone spending their time trying to figure out free energy, when we have the sun and thermal energy that is untapped and plentiful? Seems like a waste

Why is someone spending their time trying to figure out free energy, when we have the sun and thermal energy that is untapped and plentiful? Seems like a waste of time, we need to be working on getting the costs of real solutions down so they can be adopted and used more widespread.

- yaix 15y agoBecause wind and solar etc have a few disadvantages, especially that they are not steady, sometimes the wind is strong, sometimes none, sometimes the sun shines, sometimes it doesn't (especially during the night). And power grids don't like energy like that, it can collapse the whole grid. So you have to buffer your energy, and that is expensive and not so easy to do. Nuclear or (if it works one day) fusion will give you a steady source of energy.
