> I'm literally saying we could optionally be spending the money we currently spend on fusion on solar panels instead. This isn't a statement that needs data. We can’t. Who is picking between fusion research and 7% IRR solar projects? Two totally different risk profiles. > We would have saved more tons of CO2 by making more solar panels. If that’s your sole metric it’s probably worth thinking a little broader towards a solution. I don’t think Mohammed bin Salman is going to cap Ghawar Field because we put up a bunch of solar panels over here. He’s going to sell to somebody else. I think it’s better to let the market work towards solutions that compete across all dimensions—density included—and let that drive the energy transition.
