I know this is probably tongue in cheek, but I genuinely thought the same until recently. There’s a company called Helion which is developing a really cool fusion process that doesn’t use steam as an energy transfer mechanism. Obviously it has its own set of drawbacks and roadblocks, but still really cool tech in the making.
Here’s the video I saw going into detail on it if anyone’s interested:
I hope this actually pans out, but I am suspicious that it won’t. Mostly just because of they way they have this air of tech bro hype around them; hopefully I just learned about it through poor sources because it would be freakin cool if it worked
Oh yeah I’ve seen that one.
Honestly I don’t have high hopes, they believe their next model will solve the shortcomings they face with it’s size, but that could reveal a whole other set of issues.
