Energy Fusion Energy Breakthroughs: Are We Close to Unlimited Clean Power?

For decades, nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the Sun, has been seen as the holy grail of clean energy. Recent breakthroughs claim we’re closer than ever, but is fusion finally ready to power the world?

With companies like ITER, Commonwealth Fusion, and Helion Energy racing to commercialize fusion, could we see fusion power in our lifetime, or is it always "30 years away"? What do you think?

Lol look into the literature. The science is only "settled" in liberal circles.

And if you were honest with yourself, you'd understand that most "ecologists" that harp about climate change are doing so for fake and/or grant money.

There is no money/fame in saying "we aren't destroying the world"

And let's be very clear, I didn't say that we don't have an effect on the environment. We absolutely do. However, it is not the effect that most of those on the news are claiming.

The real reason you aren't answering is because everything I said is true and you can't deny any of it.

If you read everything I'm saying, you'll realize that I'm being rather moderate. But you are letting your preconceived notions blind you

The science is settled in science circles. Have a nice day.
