It's only wishful thinking at this stage, but I'm really looking forward to fusion power. Conventional nuclear has many downsides that fusion doesn't suffer from.
- cdash 13y agoNot enough to wait.
- chad_oliver 13y agoAh, sorry. I didn't mean to imply that I wouldn't buy an electric car until we have fusion; only that I'm really looking forward to fusion. I've edited my comment to make it more clear.
- iamshs 13y agoDefinitely, there will be progress. Right now, conventional fuels provide 80% of electricity. It is estimated that by 2100, fusion energy will provide 20% of electricity generation.
- chc 13y agoAs best I can gather, that estimate seems to be about as reliable as a weather forecast for 2100. We don't even have one working fusion reactor today, so we have literally no useful data from which to extrapolate.
