📉 Bill Ok so IMO future of civilization rests on us harnessing fusion energy. Discuss
👉 LÊo Oh cool! But I actually disagree. We will eventually figure out fusion (hopefully within the next decade or so) but it is not necessary for the future of human civilization. The sun will be emiting plenty of energy for at least the next million of years. Fusion will become more important when we start getting ready to leave the solar system. So, what's your opinion?

☕ David Antoine For the next 5+ billion ys actually but oceans will start to boil in about 1 to 1.5 billion ys. So... Fusion surely will be used for fast travel. Optimized it can probably get us to 5 to 10% the speed of light. And for the solar, to an extent it can help us. Problem is moving energy from prod site to cities. If long distances you should use continuous current for transport so to avoid Joule loss effect (Canada does that)... 480 char are not enough for this subject. ;)
