I can’t help but wonder: if we had poured the same amount of money into fusion energy research and development, how far might we have come in just three short years?

The minimum cost of capital just to run fusion experiments is probably $100m. And the power bills are probably almost as high as the ones from OpenAI, which is to say, they are the highest power bills in the history of mankind ...

Forreal that’s what really gets me about this haha. Literally billions of dollars burned on bullshit.
