Title should be: “Why fusion will never happen in a market-based context”. If fusion plants can be shown to be carbon negative (i.e., can be used to draw carbon out of the atmosphere by powering mineralization, etc.), we will absolutely try to build them at some point, regardless of the cost. Expecting markets financed by bankers to build them is ridiculous. The assumption is that markets factor in all costs, which they don’t and likely never will. This is the problem with markets, they are fundamentally dumb, or at least naïve and blinkered; they don’t know that there are things they don’t know. This is why we can’t solve the climate crisis through market-based systems alone.
