Cheap geothermal seems like tremendously easier problem to solve than cold fusion, I wish that more effort was put into it.

- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoCold fusion is perpetual motion.
- audunw 2y agoGeothermal is not sexy. It's incredibly boring. I personally also think we should put a lot more effort into geothermal. Yet I've watched two orders of magnitude more videos on nuclear fission and fusions on YouTube. "Just drill deep and do it fast and cheap" is not as interesting as "if we can just melt and contain molten salts and diffuse the nuclear fuel into that salt we can do fission really efficiently and safely and here's a 100 interesting engineering challenges related to that".
- pfdietz 2y agoEspecially because cold fusion doesn't exist. Geothermal at least has the advantage of actually existing.
