Comments by "Aaron Okeanos" (@AaronOkeanos) on "Термоядерная энергетика - Будущее, или провал" video.
Some additional questions to this, maybe this video could be upgraded to version 2. - Wasn't there some recent breakthrough on that this year (2019) which changed the equation somewhat? - If it works, is water consumed fully or only the Deuterium in seawater? Maybe filtered out? Is the fuel (water) lost or only the Deuterium in it? - Could fusion reactors later also be used for waste disposal especially for radioactive waste from nuclear reactors and hazzardous chemical waste? If yes having at least one could offset the costs and good for the environment world-wide. - As I understand it suns are able to create every kind of matter from the created Helium-atoms by combining them to larger atoms when the Sun "dies". Would it be possible with Fusion reactors to do this as well maybe in a later version? Or is this a sun-/supernova-only feature?

At least it's seawater, which we have little more of on this planet and there are Ice Asteroids in the solar system and on Ice on Mars. So if it works, it could probably universally solve some energy problems for the forseeable future. And if I understand it correctly, it's only the Deuterium in water they need. So they only filter it out? Not sure on this one some clarification would be welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. Too bad though I thought maybe we could get rid of the environmental sins of the last 100 years with it by completly dissolving the problem into atomic particles. And it's good news, that the water is filtered not "used up" and could therefore be used for other things after it, e.g. desalination or at least returned in to ocean.
