Typical techbro solution: Invent fusion. Thing is, you can take advantage of fusion power today with PV panels you can buy at Home Depot.
I realize it's not quite that simple. You need land, you need sunny skies, you need storage, etc. But all these problems are solvable with today's technology, while fusion reactors are most assuredly not.
- freeone3000 2y agoIt’s really strange, considering “net zero” data centers are all the rage right now. Microsoft, in particular, has solar, and sometimes wind as well, on-site generation, plus new builds require renewables in the power-supply agreements. The money’s there, so where’s the supply?
- iknowstuff 2y agoDid you just make up a strawman with an argument just so you could counter it? Not that I disagree. Solar even with storage is cheaper than nuclear.
