Earthworm 🐌<a href="https://mstdn.science/@KnowableMag" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@KnowableMag</a> the desire to tech-fix structural problems is so depressing. I get it. Scientists are nerds, and if you have the luck that your field of research receives billions of funding, who are you to say no?But the policy makers responsible for the allocation of these funds... don't these people, like... inform themselves? Even IF fusion reactors could be developed in a reasonable timespan (and the billions required for research would not just diverti much needed investments into clean and decentralized energy):A lot of energy is by no means a solution to the transgression of the multiple planetary boundaries (nor does it help against the rise of fascism we are experiencing).So, I let you here with this nice figure, you all can draw your own conclusions.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FusionReactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FusionReactor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FusionEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FusionEnergy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tokamak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tokamak</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FusionPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FusionPower</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ITER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ITER</a>

JoswitsFusion reactors, uniquitous durable power, ahhh the dream. It's been 30 years into the future since the 1950's. Or is it....In the shadow of ITER, 4 companies are taking 4 practical yet very different approaches to make electricity within 5 or 10 years.
