minus-squareKillingTimeItselflinkfedilinkEnglish-2•9 months agoit’s definitely one of the ideas of all time. i just wish people would stop pretending like it’s “just right around the corner” Meanwhile germany is burning more coal than it ever has to generate power because they no longer have nuclear energy. And gas is expensive.

Stay in school kids. Study Physics & Engineering!
yep. Given how long it’ll take to develop fusion power, multiple generations of people will have worked on it in practice, and many more in theory.
