Now we implement over a decade...worst case scenario. Thoughts?

Calling Archimedes Plutonium . . .

cisTits says

Also, they already achieved getting more energy out than in. Years ago. This is just 'more'.

Wouldn't trust for a second what you read in the "news".

Having lived and worked in Silly Con Valley for the last 20 years, one thing I've learned is "journalists" are fucking incompetent when it comes to anything regarding science or engineering.

If we get sustainable energy production that runs for something like an hour (not minutes), then we MIGHT have something workable. This is all stuff in the lab at this point, and it's CALCULATED to be sustainable, it's not been shown to be.

I've been hearing of the promise of fusion for my entire life, and it's always just a decade away. I doubt this time it's different.

I call bs. If it is true that would be great timing, they can sweep all of the current green energy that's failing under the rug.

Fusion power goes against global order. Cheaper energy means more humans at least that's what cheaper energy has equaled in the past.

The consequences of unlimited energy, is we really could colonize another planet or any location for that matter. It would be entirely possible to build a city in Antarctica. It would be crazy. You'd just generate as much energy as you needed for anything. It's get crazy fast.

In fact, giving society cheap, abundant energy at this point would be the moral equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun. With cheap, abundant energy, the attempt clearly would be made to pave, develop, industrialize, and exploit every last bit of the planet—a trend that would inevitably lead to a collapse of the life-support systems upon which civilization depends.

- Paul Ehrlich (talking about cold fusion)

That's what it is - the hoi polloi must be exterminated so that the oligarchs (the Eloi) can enjoy a garden Earth. That's why fusion and the death jab are being promoted simultaneously. Just like the pharaohs - kill the engineers who built the tombs or entomb them with you..

Please call me when a working fusion powerplant is delivering power to the grid, in excess of power usage.

China will still technology and implement it in no time.

Erlich isn't wrong in this case.

When I was a kid, "bottled water" was somebody only a genius marketer could tell to fools. Companies would like NOTHING more than to sell the population bottled air if they could.

Unlimited energy very well might be a disaster.

And stop thinking in terms of "the rich and powerful" versus "the common man". It's sociopaths versus the rest of us. Give me unlimited money and energy, and I'll just retire in a small cabin off from a lake, well actually a house built off the lake, where I have easy access to the cabin. I wouldn't seek to rule the world, but I'm a freak that way.

That seems to be well within the reach of your current circumstances. Have you done it?

I would be very warry of Fission energy from a lot hell bent on limiting and destroying every energy source available to humanity, in a time it is reported it is going to be one of the worst Winters in half a century. I can see a scenario where they do develop Fission energy, it is controlled and regulated by the NWO. Just one word of wrong speak, and they cut you off. No electricity, no motorized cars. By that time combustible materials will be outlawed.

Face it folks, out of all our wildest future high tech dreams of yesteryear. The current powers that be, are the worst sad sacks you want ushering in anything like we imagined.
We're not on the cuspid of a Future tech revolution, we're on the cuspid of a Dystopian hellscape, woke mob rule. Where that future tech will be as fake as Bruce Jenner's pussy.

I am not yet in a position where I can entirely retire.

I think you meant Fusion energy.
