The Chinese government announced the fusion consortium on Jan. 9, 2024 according to the first article I posted.
17 minutes of 158M°F heat is a success. The previous record was 17s, and required maintenance and repair after fusion. With improved capture and storage, this version can work in modulation.
From the article:
So yeah, it’s an exciting prospect in the development of stable nuclear fusion.
Cool. I set goals all the time too. That doesn't make them achievable.
Sure, not with that attitude. You seem pretty determined to discredit the success here. How heavily are you invested in fossil fuels?
I didn't realize the only two options available were fusion power, which is not yet practical, or fossil fuels.
I was sure there were lots of other ways to generate electricity.
I guess not.
I thought you wanted clarity, but clearly you want a debate. Find someone else to argue with.
I thought you wanted to clarify, but instead you accused me of being invested in fossil fuels.
And to clarify that, I'm not invested in anything. Unlike you, apparently, I can't afford to invest in things.
Man, I don't think fusion is coming any time soon either but I just read this entire exchange and you have been undeniably insufferable the whole time. There are a thousand ways to discuss this disagreement and you chose the combative one.
I've argued with people like you before. You accuse and accuse and accuse them when the other person realizes it's not worth their time and throws a parting jab, you play victim. It's embarrassing and everyone sees right through it.
Well I'm sorry you feel that you see through my pointing out that they kept saying things that weren't true in response to me, but I'm going to point it out and not just accept it as if it actually is true.
I also don't see why I should accept the accusation that I invest in fossil fuels. Would you accept that if it was leveled at you as if it were the truth (and I hope it isn't)?
