Here's a video of length 15:41 titled Exploring Why This Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough Matters. Narrator Matt Ferrell lists the possibilities and problems associated with power generation through hydrogen fusion. He lists as a joke the prediction that fusion power will be available 30 years from now and that was the case in 1960, 1990, 2020 and will be true as long as anybody makes predictions. I predicted in 1998 that fusion power would be bullshit 20 years thereafter and I was correct. Anyway, Matt Ferrell is hopeful that the European fusion research facility will actually get built by 2035. Then, serious research can begin, maybe. I predict that by 2060 fusion power will still be 3 decades away from success, per its promoters. What do you think?
By the way, renewable energy is also BS in my opinion. If humans wish to survive as a technological species there's no alternative apart from atomic power plants run by nuclear fission.

If humans wish to survive as a technological species there's no alternative apart from atomic power plants run by nuclear fission. It's not BS at all. The trick is complementing renewable energy with other energy sources at least for now. I live in Portugal and we already had some days where all the energy used came from renewable sources like solar, hydro and wind. As technology gets better, we might be actually reach a point where other non renewable energies will not be necessary. That being said, I truly think that the exclusion of nuclear fission from a lot of the climate talks doesn't make sense. If its a climate emergency, then nuclear energy should definitely be on the table. As for fusion, last I heard is that the first commercial reactor would be working by the end of this decade. We'll see... It seems that with fusion, every time a breakthrough is achieved, we encounter a new obstacle.
