  1. Sorry, this "fusion power" is just a HUGE BOONDOGGLE. I'm surprised Peter doesn't know about thorium and good-old fission. FISSION, works at 600 degrees C and there's unlimited fuel for it - thorium (see the Kirk Sorenson videos). But the fusion world starts at 10 MILLION degrees C. It's stupid to try and make a POWER plant under those conditions. It's stupid to try. You'll scream when you figure out how stupid we've been in this business. Meanwhile, Fusion boondoggle artists are laughing all the way to the bank.

  3.  @maryhadda8420  Sorry, but "that's nonsense". Please spend a few hours on the Kirk Sorenson thorium videos. We have been such fools. "Be among the first to figure that out."

  4.  @maryhadda8420  Then you didn't read enough. It has everything going for it. "burning dirt" they call it.

  6.  @gaseousFumes4u  Amen. It's a stupid boondoggle. ... might be interested in my other posts. (re: thorium-fission at 600 C vs. fusion at 10,000,000 C. )

  10.  @liberalhere3731  ^^ it figures. 1) fusion is an out and out FRAUD when it comes to electricity generation. 2) Fusion is an out and out FRAUD when it comes to the already developed, 1960s technology, unlimited, cost effective alternative thorium-fission. Where does that leave the BILLIONS in other people's money you so cavalierly help yourself to???? "Oh... we have to fund all these white coats because we might discover something...". <--- the arrogance is nauseating. BTW, all those cavelier white coats could be working on something that people actually want, as opposed to pissing away their labor on this stupid BOONDOGGLE.

  16.  Morgan Allen  I think you're full of sh*t, but if that's how you feel about fusion, YOU write the check. 1) Fusion is an out and out FRAUD when it comes to electricity generation. 2) Fusion is an out and out FRAUD when it comes to the already developed, 1960s technology, unlimited, cost effective alternative thorium-fission. Where does that leave the BILLIONS in other people's money you so cavalierly spend????

  17.  Morgan Allen  Duly noted. Edited, but not much. You can usually tell the self-serving white-coats who are already on the gravy train. There's another gaslighted group of people who have drunk the koolaid of "It's science, so it must be good." At the end of the day, it's still billions of my/taxper's money pissed away on a worthless boondoggle.

  18.  Morgan Allen  1) you're being "had" by the fusion quacks. 2) leave my money out of it. * 1) Fusion is an out and out FRAUD when it comes to electricity generation -- 10,000,000 degrees operating temperature. 2) Fusion is an out and out FRAUD when it comes to the already developed, 1960s technology, unlimited, cost effective alternative thorium-fission. (600 degrees operating temperature.) Where does that leave the BILLIONS in other people's money you so cavalierly spend???? "Oh... we have to fund all these white coats because we might discover something...". <--- the arrogance is nauseating. It that's how these propeller-head science geeks feel about it, THEY CAN WRITE THE CHECK. BTW, all those cavelier white coats could be working on something that people actually want, as opposed to pissing away their labor on this stupid boondoggle.

  19.  Morgan Allen  No, throwing money at fusion for power generation is indeed a fraud. And I repeat the bullet points because you're not listening to them.

  20.  Morgan Allen  You too. If you have a few spare hours, here is my thorium playlist, with links to the Kirk Sorenson videos. You'll "scream" when you learn the full extent of our nuclear power stupidity. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6JjafE5gsb9nSmudoj5MUKxX8LTKO0-J

  22.  @Tom-dt4ic  Sure... YOU write the check for this stupid multi-billion dollar science club project. And you don't understand the thorium-fission alternative. You're going to feel pretty foolish once you've spent a few hours studying that.

  28.  @patrickvanraes2092  Teacher? Heep-big reeesearch scientist? That's your idea of a real job from the inside of your self-serving echo chamber?

  29.  @patrickvanraes2092  You failed the test. You are inebriated in your stuck-up, conceited, elitest economic ignorance. Comparing yourself to Einstein and Bohr -- nauseating. A typical privileged prima donna. ... But you're welcome to take the test over. Conservatives give exam retakes if you failed the first time.

  31.  @patrickvanraes2092  ^^ talented at denial and issue-changing double talk. Still failing the "real job" test and continues being a self-serving fusion boondoggle apologist.

  32.  @VoteForBukele  You have been "had" by the quacks and charlatans of fusion power. Go ahead... drink the Koolaid -- just leave the rest of us out of it when it comes to paying the salaries and retirement of these quacks.
