Surely this is something that will go down in price as energy costs do, regardless of the yttrium approach, correct? With solar getting cheaper and fusion on the horizon, won’t that address the problem as well? I wonder if this intermediary step is necessary if so.

- _aavaa_ 1y agoOh it is, in the same way mirages appear on the horizon.

- steve_adams_86 1y agoMy 7 year old told me he found the pot of gold last year, so it seems to me that we should be more optimistic about fusion

- BirAdam 1y agoMaybe? If anyone has better knowledge on whether or not this is legitimate, that would be cool to know. https://www.businessinsider.com/helion-energy-fusion-company-backed-by-sam-altman-and-microsoft-2023-5 https://www.businessinsider.com/helion-energy-fusion-company...
- ted_dunning 1y agoHelion is legitimate and they have a very clever approach, but it definitely still isn't a sure bet that they will succeed.
- dehrmann 1y agoIt's 20 years away.
- adastra22 1y agoYou should look again. There are a dozen different approaches that have a good chance of crossing the threshold to commercially viable fusion in the near term, and they are each very well funded.
- simsla 1y agoIt'll always be 20 years away until it's here. Will that be in 20 or 200 years, who knows.
