- bushbaba 4y agoMaybe. Fusion energy might be more expensive than current forms or has undesirable yet to be known side effects. People said the same of nuclear and here we are.
- eastbound 4y agoThe negative effect of nuclear were known in 1927 (Hermann Joseph Meller). It would be surprising if we discovered another form of radiation, given calculations lead us far further without showing new forms of radiations.
- seandoe 4y agoAnd had we continued to develop and improve upon fission we'd probably be in a better place.
- dal 4y agoYou mean like tearing a hole in the fabric of space and time and opening a hell portal to another dimension?
- jrootabega 4y agoThat only happened ONCE.
- sh1mmer 4y agoPeople also said the same thing about wind and solar, and those still have some downsides but they are also rapidly becoming the cheapest current form of peak energy, or with cheaper grid storage, energy period. Sci-if authors have been talking about both solar and fusion for years, and now solar has been industrialized why wouldn’t we be excited to see progression in fusion?
- amelius 4y agoThere will probably still be wars over other natural resources.
- standardUser 4y agoCurrently, there are a couple dozen authoritarian regimes, most heavily armed, that are almost entirely funded by fossil fuel exports. That makes me fear things will get worse before they get better.
- Arubis 4y agoTrue; however, this was already the direction things were headed for said regimes as much of the world has begun to focus on energy security. On the upside, perhaps the lowered long-term demand for fossil fuels will reduce the risk of additional resource discoveries leading to more despotic regimes.
