  • The problem with projections is that we don't actually know how to do fusion yet...

    • The issue is that we don't know how to generate more energy than we use in fusion...

        Imageshack gives you the ability to post a thumbnail to the thread instead of the full image. I suggest you use it.

          Well, we do, but it's kind of hard to use.

            Okay okay...I resized it (however, do note the lack of apology )

            Hmm...that's not really true. There are large technical challenges remainging, but the tokamak is one technique, and several have already been built. That said, none of them generate electricity in a usable form, and neither will ITER. That won't happen until DEMO, which even the widescreen challenged can now see won't happen until 2035 or so.
