Very recommendable! A very long and detailed article!
For about 70 years, humans have pursued the holy grail to tame nuclear fusion for peaceful energy generation! Will we finally realize it on earth? Have we reached critical mass for nuclear fusion? Nuclear fusion is the way to go!
Will the private sector and its visionary entrepreneurs once more, as so many times before in history, be a trailblazer for future energy generation? You bet! Will Big Government and the ideological dim witted elites stand in the way? Most likely!
With the practical realization of nuclear fusion energy the Global Warming hoax and the Climate Change religion will be relegated to the dustbin of history, where it undoubtedly belongs! Why are we wasting so many resources on so called Big Government energy transformation towards renewable energy etc. when nuclear fusion research etc. ought to be much better funded!
"... Long derided as a prospect that is forever 30 years away, nuclear fusion seems finally to be approaching commercial viability. There are now more than 30 private fusion firms globally, according to an October survey by the Fusion Industry Association (FIA) in Washington DC, which represents companies in the sector; the 18 firms that have declared their funding say they have attracted more than US$2.4 billion in total, almost entirely from private investments ...
The latest venture at Culham — the hub of UK fusion research for decades — is a demonstration plant for General Fusion (GF), a company based in Burnaby, Canada. It is scheduled to start operating in 2025, and the company aims to have reactors for sale in the early 2030s. It “will be the first power-plant-relevant large-scale demonstration” ...
In this respect, advocates of fusion technology say it has many parallels with the space industry. That, too, was once confined to government agencies but is now benefiting from the drive and imagination of nimble (albeit often state-assisted) private enterprise. This is “the SpaceX moment for fusion” ...
“We can smell that we’re getting close.” Investors sense the real prospect of returns on their money: Google and ... Goldman Sachs, for instance, are among those funding the fusion company TAE Technologies, based in Foothill Ranch, California, which has raised around $880 million so far. ...
This is necessarily big science, and until this century, only state-run projects could muster the resources. The scale of the enterprise is reflected today in the world’s biggest fusion effort: ITER, a fusion reactor being constructed in southern France and supported by 35 nations, including China, European Union member states, the United States, Russia, South Korea and Japan, with a price tag of at least $22 billion. ..."
