You shared an opinion piece written by a self-styled “investor” who proceeds to endorse the forthcoming feasibility of fusion. I shared a piece written by one of the authors of the study he is basing his article on. A study published in a peer-reviewed journal and conducted by a reputable university. They are not the same.
As for the date…renewables have only become more viable since 2013. The price has plummeted, and the feasibility of battery storage has skyrocketed.
Tell me about it! Opinion pieces huh? At least the investor guy’s solution isn’t using gas powered plants.
And how has the feasibility of battery storage skyrocketed exactly? We haven’t built that many at all in the last 13 years since the article was written. It’s always a promise of much better battery technology in the next decade. We don’t have enough lithium mining capacity as it is, especially when we also want to make the transition to EVs and sodium batteries require even more factories that still have to be built.
How about not betting everything on unproven tech that still needs to be researched, where battery factories still have to be built, storage facilities have to be built, and those all have to be individually connected to the grid and provide enough stability to last us winter nights after an overcast day with little wind…
Does that really seem like skyrocketing feasibility to you?
Ok it’s obvious you’re not here to discuss anything in good faith. You’ve arrived at your conclusion and will make up whatever nonsense you feel like will support it. Have the life you deserve.
Who is the one dealing out personal attacks here? And I’m the one discussing in bad faith?
Just because someone doesn’t agree with your views doesn’t make them argue in bad faith. You simply haven’t made a strong argument. And you haven’t addressed at all where we are going to get our power from for:
peaks in demand on calm winter evenings following overcast days.
What is your solution? That we simply go dark from time to time? Until you can address that, your entire string of comments is about as useful as praying to the sun god.
Have the life you deserve.
Thanks. I will. I hope you will too. This is pathetic.
