  • may I ask why you’re so hostile?

    As for my point:

    Fusion is still a long way from being scalable and commercially viable, and every year we continue burning coal drives us closer to extinction. So we need to work with what we have now, and fast. When we get viable fusion in the future, great, we’ll have secured energy stability even more and maybe made it cheaper (that’s a maybe). But at the moment, we need to invest into renewables more. Orders of magnitude more.

    I’m just tired of click-baity articles like this. Fusion’s been 10-20 years away for more than half a century now, and while I don’t doubt that we’re making progress towards it, it won’t be ready in time to be the replacement for coal we are hoping for.
