    We have started to build the first commercial fusion plants now. You may want to update your rhetoric.

      I look forward to seeing them produce energy in a short 20 years from now.

        You should read up on the topic, I know I was surprised, the breakthroughs have recently happened. Now it is just permitting and building. Obviously there will still be issues, but there is little question to the reality now.

          I’ve read of smaller reactors that should speed up prototyping, but nothing about actual net positive energy production. That’s still far away.

            This happened a long time ago. Prototyping is over. I was very skeptical as well up until they figured out a practical reactor design and are in the process of building and permitting several commercial plants around the world.

              You can get more power by putting a small wind turbine near my face than any of your fantasy-land nonsense comic book contraptions.

            Living in denial as they are building commercial plants. Looks like Big Oil propaganda got you.

              Thankfully there’s no Big Fusion propaganda. Might want to check your face for a gigantic hook.

              There is no system capable or conceivable to generate net electrical energy at commercial scale.

              None.
