    While I fully agree, that focus should be on swapping out fossil fuel power generation with renewables and more/better storage, fusion will, if possible, be a very important part of the future of humans (if we make it that far).

    And of course it sounds really badass “harnessing the power of stars”

      Sure. Agree on all points. But beware of the hype. Its a pattern. Every couple of days there is another hype and mostly its nothing burgers but it keeps attention diverted from the actual problems.

      Right now, we need to fight back fascists, take down capitalism (because it was fascism all along, no i’m not talking about trade), finish 100% renewables, outlaw ai outside of science and feed the world.

      Thats the only thing that actually matters. With the insane productivity after abandoning artificial inequality, we will probably have fusion in a couple months because the whole world can cooperate on it without “funding issues”.
