Nuclear Fusion World Record Smashed in Major Achievement::undefined
Nuclear Fusion World Record Smashed in Major Achievement::undefined
Tbf most things “always 20 years away” is usually that way because of funding reasons.
If fusion got the funding it deserved from the beginning things would be a lot different now. But, ya know, big oil and old rich fucks :/
Big oil didn’t stop solar panels from becoming a working technology. Sometimes a technology is just hard, there’s no need for a conspiracy.
Stop it? No, but they were successful in slowing it down by decades. Just like with fusion. And they pretty much stopped traditional nuclear power, the fear mongering they put out about it is still persistent
