Yeah! We could use such technology to trap this “artificial sun” instead, and then have a steady stable output throughout the night for things that use a bunch of electricity but run constantly, like water filtration plants and material processing facilities.
Great idea! But I guess more research is needed to make this work for the things that use the MOST electricity, instead of small portable devices that use a fraction of the electricity
Yeah, too bad humans can only focus on one thing at a time.
It’s always best to abandon projects that are difficult, even if minute progress is being done on them. Like, could you imagine if someone made a machine that can fly? That’s just silly, after all only birds have flown for thousands of years.
And while we’re cutting spending I suppose, why not shut down the LHC too? Barely any progress made there in decades too.
It has to do with energy development in general. Or rather what they are not doing in terms of it. China is working on developing fusion technology while not doing much with developed green technology, instead increasing their reliance on fossil fuels.
But it’s great PR for them because this article makes it sound like they’re on their way to the green energy they aren’t doing enough about now.
It’s too bad there isn’t some sort of way we could store electricity in some sort of containment.
Then we could do stuff like take electrically-powered devices with us wherever we went! Think of how handy that would be!

I don’t know, what you’re saying sounds like a complete impossibility and there definitely aren’t multiple options currently in use. So we better put all our hopes on a technology that has not proven viable in decades despite being always “right around the corner.”

I love you, you’ve played squids game but better than he can. Bravo.
Can you please quote me making such suggestions? Because I looked through our entire conversation and haven’t seen me suggest those things.
Oh squiddy
Oh amany?
Do I know you?
I never said you made an explicit suggestion, but if you think you’ve made an implied one, go ahead and point out what they might be 🙃

Maybe they should be focusing on reducing that with developed technologies, because they don’t seem to be.
I don’t see what that has to do with fusion energy development. Are they trying to fuse coal into bigger lumps of coal?
