RE: Nuclear Fusion - The Holy Grail of Clean Energy
There is already one fusion reactor only about 8 "light-minutes" away from us, and we really should use it as much as possible: our sun! :)
I am a little bit skeptical about if human made fusion reactors will work reliably one day but I also don't exclude that possibility. Anyway it is very interesting for sure ...
Yes you are right. Solar power is slowly becoming the norm with wider availability and cheaper rates every year. However it can't be used in a lot of places around the world which do not get 'enough' sunlight. Hence the requirement for an artificial sun (figuratively). If it is made possible, it will be a landmark success in human history.
Thanks for reading :)
Oh, I live in Germany and I can say that combined with a rather good energy storage device in my house even in winter (also at nights) I still reach about 50 % autarky, that means only 50 % of electricity I use comes from outside and in summer it's about 95 %. The problem is that more people should use these storages, they must become even better and cheaper also.
But that it is possible to be independent only using "renewable" energy already today even in the Antarctic you can read here:

Its funny people think the sun is a giant nuclear reactor. Consensus science is such joke! But riddle me this one. If the sun is a nuclear reactor, the heat comes from the core and radiates outward 360 degrees in all directions, Correct? That would mean the closer you get to the core the hotter it becomes. So my question to anyone who thinks the Sun is a nuclear furnace is this: Why then, do astronomers observe the Sun and see things like sun sports; where we get a glimpse into cooler areas that are deeper then outer areas of the photosphere? Right there destroys the theory of the Sun. It wasn't until we invented nuclear weapons did we come up with this ridiculous THEORY. On the contrary, the sun is powered externally from electrical circuitry called Birkland currents which run into the poles of the Sun. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in doing research on the Electric Universe theory. Once you study this theory it's very obvious that the Sun is not self gravitating and self consuming hydrogen to then produce nuclear fusion. Also, nuclear fusion as a source of energy is a horrid idea. Do we really need to go into detail as to why nuclear energy is a bad idea? I think whats happened in Japan is enough proof. Damn humans never learn.
The bombs dropped in Japan used Nuclear Fission and not Nuclear Fusion.
Thanks I know. I was talking about Fukushima. There is no safe way to deliver nuclear energy (Fission or fusion)I think its abundantly clear. You can't foresee every scenario that could take place.
