The fusion reactor is starting to take shape. That will be life changing in many ways from travel to energy consumption.

I bet people will try to oppose it, saying it will make their offspring gay or something

not much different than people saying 5G is giving them cancer warping their brain waves.

I mean I fully believe some of the things we use everyday will turn out to be like lead in boomers gasoline.

We know some of it is bad already, but there is always more that we don’t.

As long as it doesn’t make the frogs gay I think folks will be alright with it.

There will absolutely be a ‘it’ll take jobs from hard working people’ contingent.

It’ll be all the same arguments they currently use against the current Gen nuclear plants. “It’s still nuclear! I don’t want mutated babies!”

Thanks Simpsons

Also, a new battery type. We are already making progress with Solid State batteries and “super” capacitors.

Lithium-ion batteries did a lot to advance mobile technology.

Fusion is very far off and we already can create more than enough power to supply our needs with fission. The same people who lobbied against fission will lobby against fusion.

Instead of hoping some new technology is going to o fix the world's energy crisis, we need to start implementing real technology we already have to start affecting global warming.

The day fusion works people will realize it's as dangerous as a nuclear power plant

I mean... It will change the way we produce energy and basically provide unlimited energy. But I don't think it will have much of an effect on us personally. Same as with nuclear energy. It's just a means to an end

Once we shrink it, powering space going vessels by fusion becomes reasonable which lowers the cost and time it takes to get places. Suddenly mars and Venus become reasonable for exploitation along with NEOs and earth Trojans.

Plus it wouldn't be that far fetched to make artificial cosmic rays and turn carbon or oxygen into lithium, which will soon be a bottle neck mineral.

Your entire post history is asinine comments implying people are dumb and don't know something you do. Yet you never display any actual knowledge...

Right so because youre adjacent to something, you assume that you know best. Despite being objectively wrong.
