This works in a totally different way, by heating a tiny target fuel pellet with a laser to cause it to collapse and trigger fusion through basically heating and squeezing: more like how a bomb works. It's not easy to see a direct path

You're assuming something like 24 hours a day of having the car parked in full sunlight, which is not realistic (even ignoring that night exists). For it to make sense, you'd need the solar arrays on the car to provide a reasonabl

It's the last one. It's just very poorly drafted legislation that hasn't been thought through. this is our one party rule in action. With no meaningful opposition, laws are not scrutinized and unintended consequences never co
