The National Ignition Facility, home of the first net-positive fusion reaction, is back with an even more powerful energy shot.

      However since it’s unlikely the billionaire class will allow for degrowth, fusion might be a way out of the hole we’ve dug.

      The industrial revolution that fusion might be able to fuel would still need to solve climate change, because every increase in energy throughput also increases energy in the radiative budget. Geoengineering might become no-return necessity at this point.

        Doesn’t our current energy production add something like 5 orders of magnitude less than insolation? How many multiples of our current energy production before the effect is non-negligible?

      I get your point but i have to disagree. Fusion still looks promising but we’re nowhere near mass production of enerfy at this point and people are kind of using it to explain their lazyness. Billionaires and presidents dont say whats going on, we do. Please join unions and groups that help change this shit. Energy isnt our only problem either. Either we make it change or it stays like this.
