@mzedp Well, I'm hardly the boss running the show or the engineers designing the devices, but if the price of fusion power isn't competitive and customers don't buy it, there will most definitely be a reckoning.
@stshank Framing fusion as an alternative to „fight climate change“ is misleading at best. Climate action, especially with regards to power generation, is needed NOW with real measures and not with solutions which nobody knows if and in how many decades to which price and under whose control may come.
@_noelamac_ At no point did I suggest fusion is the only way of fighting climate change, nor that it should displace existing, proven methods we have today to fight it. I have solar panels on my roof for a reason. We need to do it all — build out solar and wind and storage, improve grid efficiency, built out new transmission capacity, shorten the interconnection queue, and more. Perhaps that will be sufficient, but it's not clear to me that's the case.
