fusion is not on the horizon
- _aavaa_ 1y agoOh it is, in the same way mirages appear on the horizon.
- more_corn 1y agoIn the same way the pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. Close enough to see, never close enough to reach.
- 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
- rjsw 1y agoHow many times have you arrived at the horizon?
- Electricniko 1y agoIt is at sunrise and sunset.
- guide42 1y agoBest moments to watch the fission.
- jonasenordin 1y agoAnd it's actually a good thing that it hasn't come any closer.
- 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.
