Misleading - total input of the whole system at Lawrence Livermore is still 80-90 times more than local output in the inner core of the experiment. Then they have to make that into usefull energy, with a big loss in that process.

First they have to produce more energy than the total required for the entire system. Then they have to engineer and build a reactor that can produce a sustained reaction, capture the excess energy to produce electrical power, engineer a way to produce tritium, and do it all cheaply enough to be competitive in the market.

I don't totally get how ITER is 10 years behind schedule. It seems alot. 😅 Hopefully it works out though.

I'll be 20 years away😂😂😂 I am actually hopeful we can make fusion work however there a a range of both Physics and engineering problems to overcome and realistically they won't be solved for 20 to 50 yrs...

Actually never. You cannot build a fusion reactor without testing the crucial components. This means a high flux 14 MeV neutron source is needed. How do you get that? Only in a fusion reactor....

Close is a relative term. If by close, you mean in 300 years' time, maybe. If you mean in the next 50, not likely.

What if it doesn't work.... I suppose it is like touching the surface of the sun, or even inside the sun, but contained inside a man made crucible of sorts. That to me is an impossible task. We will not see a working or a viable fusion power station in my lifetime for sure.

We already have clean fusion power for free from the sky. Enough to power the entire world at least 10,000 times over for at least a billion more years. The next 10- to 20-years will be critical to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Thus, all major work on terrestrial fusion should be put on hold. The money and effort need to be allocated towards renewable energy which is not just an answer but really the only answer the global energy transition.

@@coolbanana165 Thanks for replying. But fusion is still a hard pass for me. Consider that there are so many other much more attractive alternatives out there, fusion should be at the bottom of the list for subsidies, grants and tax dollars. Fusion is such an incredibly long shot. Plus, it's not just about getting to net positive energy fusion, which is still a long way away, fusion still needs to be economically competitive. But renewables have reached historic low costs and still driving their prices down! Any tax dollars, subsidies, grants should be directed towards things like grid-scale storage (this is a huge sector) and other indirect renewables like ocean tidal energy. These will have immediate benefits, and they tap a power source that has thousands of times the energy of fusion and fission.

@@coolbanana165 Furthermore, the sun is 99.9-percent the mass of our solar system. The sun provides the Earth a cosmic 173,000-terawatts of power non-stop for billions of years and at least a billion more. All the combined fusion and fissile material on Earth would amount to the tiniest drop of water in an Olympic sized pool! As a baseline calculation, that 173,000-terawatts would provide all of our civilization's annual 620-exajoules of energy in just 1 hour. Or just 1/10000th of that energy spread over 365 days over the continent of the ocean. Nuclear power is simply the wrong tools of terrestrial grid: too small, too slow, too risky, too expensive, too dirty (nuclear waste). But nuclear *is* very useful though in small-scale sectors like scientific, military and space-exploration.

That is a very upside down argument - the reason interest rates are pushed higher is to create a recession. The interest rate cut happens when there is confidence that inflation is done and nothing beats inflation like a decent recession. The cut in interest rates doesn't cause the recession it is a response to it. The graph is also just showing multiple business cycles within a larger macro cycle - gradually increasing interest rates, an economic collapse then falling interest rates followed by gradually rising interest rates - over and over.

there is a massive difference between performing a short experiment producing some nuclear fusion reactions and building a commercially viable fusion energy production plant which must be reliable and reparable and have a life of at least 30 - 40 years.. the technological hurdles to build a commercial power plant are numerous and huge. The development times are in the order of decades and success is not guaranteed. Nuclear fusion MAY become commercially available but it will take many more decades, probably a century, if we get lucky.... fusion advocates should stop announcing one breakthrough every week when, at the best, it is just another small step of a very long and difficult climb.... they are just trying to mislead, beside the general public, the decision makers in order to secure additional funding. Instead, they should start rethinking the overall development strategy, starting from the doomed ITER project, where tens of billions of dollars have been and, if no wise decision is soon taken, will be wasted on a poorly conceived, worse designed and terribly managed project.

thank you, it will change soon, there are other source of energy that with international cooperation in coastline we can reduce global warming, sea is huge source of energy, further more we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood and wildfire by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition, in sum-up, by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming in countries like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries....) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet and electrical field and electric chemical reactions for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer. 7 methods for reducing global warming I mentioned in my profile.
