There's, uh, a shitload of physicists who seem to believe otherwise. Fission is also fine, though obviously things can go very wrong.

I mean, like economic systems, if our metric is which has the smallest heap of dead bodies, nothing will hold a candle to conventional power generation.

I don't think we're building O'Neill cylinders with wind power. Solar is all well and good, but if we ever wanna set foot anywhere in the outer solar system, solar may not be as viable.

Now, zero point energy... if we could just... siphon some power from the quantum foam.... what could possibly go wrong?

There’s a Korean (smarter than you) refuting your claims in this thread. Stand down, stick to potato farming like the rest of your clan
My people are potato gobblers too. We ain't all regressive.

A single fusion reactor could not now be operated with current global tritium supplies.

Can I get a double order of submissive and breedable tritium?

Fusion is a larger scale than fission.

I suspect you don’t have a phd in physics

That being the case, I’m disinclined to listen. What was your prediction about the senate again?

Im skeptical of fusion (in my lifetime) as well, but now that you’re saying it’s impossible, I’m quite certain we’re right around the corner.

Got any stock picks?

Sure. Yeah. It's a problem. We might not ever see it in our lifetimes.

People once thought it was hubris to build flying machines, though. Organ transplants were once science fiction. It's fine. God gave us brains to utilize them.

I'll settle for just seeing some people go back to the moon.

Standard Oil err I mean Exxon-Mobil will kill you, seriously.


Not a conspiracy channel, this guy tries to debunk conspiracies and then explain what can't be easily debunked, and he's often stumped. Its a good professional non-cringy format.

The point is you have to buildout fission reactors at a large scale to create enough (breeded) tritium to attempt the fusion project.

That's why I'm implying it's a trick. It would be nice to have but not needed if we did that.

What do you mean "go back"?

Someone post the 50 cent driving away gif so I can quote it thanks!
