2034? Sounds more like a retirement vehicle than energy solution. If Fusion ever happens, it'll be a small, no name startup, not a beauracratic, bloated Government sponsored waste of money project

This technology promises nearly unlimited cheap energy. Right. It'll only be cheap for the energy companies. Do you really believe they'll pass on those savings to the average consumer at the expense of the potential for obscene profits? Yeah, I got a tokamak to sell you.

This is exactly how the world should function, not just energy but as many things as possible. Can’t wait until 2034.

Please God show them the light and have them go to thorium reactors there’s enough energy for the next hundred-thousand years, which would be barely enough time for them to finally figure out fusion!

Is this fusion power plant started for testing? What is it speciality? Will they use hydrogen isotopes instead of nuclear fusion reactions?

Yes it's amazing what we can do. But we still need the basic things to live. We over consuming & not focusing on what matters. We have had all we needed to make everyone live a good comfortable life. We've just lost our way & focusing on money/profit, interest.

It’s not going to be finished or be fast enough to deploy at scale to help prevent significant climate change sadly.

Have to say seeing this is pretty amazing. Did not know about it. Thanks for sharing.
