You better be patient. As far as I remember a fusion rection requires a temperature of 10million Kelvins to start, so we're FAR from producing any energy with it.Mek-Izzle wrote:
I can't wait until we perfect Fusion Power.
Experiments are on going, but yes, that is a problem. Right now the most effective way to achieve such temperatures is by... surprise, surprise, fission. But you do have the problem of a powerplant turning into a thermonuclear bomb, which is why they use much more expensive, less efficient methods. I would give it three decades before we get enough fusion to power a country.Gawwad wrote:

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Global Warming warming is the 1992 Homelessness issue of 2008. When a Democrat got elected we never heard again of Homelessness. Come to think of it they never spoke of health care from 1992 till 2000. why is that ?
I almost hope a democrat wins just so the media will stfu for 8 years.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are moving on.
I wouldn't make any time estimates time until scientists manage to get a net energy gain from fusion. As far as I know, this has yet to occur.Spark wrote:
