If the processes powering the fusion reactor at the Sun's core could be recreated on Earth, it would be one of the most important events in the history of our species. Nuclear fusion power plants could end our dependency on fossil fuels and provide a virtually limitless, highly efficient source of clean energy.
We went to two of the world's leading nuclear fusion research centers-Sandia National Labs in New Mexico and General Fusion outside Vancouver-to see how close we are to bringing the power of the stars down to Earth.

It's not nontoxic. If you observed fusion reactions of significant density without shielding you would still die from acute radiation exposure. The radiation fusion produces and more importantly the products do not have as high of a tendency to activate other materials or hang around. That's what makes it less risky

As silly as this question is math can answer it for us. Well a lithium Ion AA battery stores about 11050 Joules according to www.allaboutbatteries.com/Energy-tables.html In the video the guy said they had 36 capacitor banks which they charge to 20 MJ. I'm not entirely sure if that is 20 MJ altogether or per bank. But the same calculation either way. 20 MJ total 20,000,000 Joules/11050 Joules/AA Battery = 1,810 AA batteries 1,810*36= 65,158 AA Batteries if it was 20 MJ per Capacitor... Of course those numbers are lower than what it would actually take because, well nothing is perfectly efficient.

Yes, if the reaction loses containment, you don't get a mushroom cloud, not even a thermal explosion. You just get a dissipation of heat, from the small focused intense spot of heat in the reactor, to the large expanse of air surrounding. The plasma just immediately descends into gas phase. It's not even radioactive. A failure at a fusion plant would be safe for the people living next door.

You're spot on. It is estimated 1.3 trillion barrels of oil remaining in Earth's proven reserves. Technically, more will be available after the proven reserves dry up, but won't be as economically profitable. If the average price per barrel is 55 dollars, that is well over 55 trillion dollars worth of crude oil to process, refine, and profit from. If anyone thinks these mega-corporations and a US geopolitical strategy are going to just leave 55 trillion dollars worth of anything in the ground they are sadly mistaken. Money is what makes this world turn, and money is what will likely make this world burn. For people think that we aren't "advanced" enough to convert to clean energy, they are also misinformed. Our energy grid could be highly efficient, and completely renewable in just a couple of decades. Economics is the only factor holding us back. Capitalism works by exploiting short-term gains and cumulative short term growth. Wealthy investors aren't going to throw their money at something that isn't going to return anything in 10-20 years, or even 5 years. Human lives don't last that long. Until clean energy becomes "cheap" enough for the wealthy elite to invest billions and recoup the investment for profit, we're stuck with burning fossil fuels. I am 30 years old, and I'm pretty confident the US won't be energy independent in my lifetime. The irony of all this is that instead of investing the hundreds of billions required for a clean energy grid overhaul, we gladly invest several hundreds of billions of dollars into a military to facilitate our geopolitical strategy every year to keep the engine of the status quo humming along. What a complete waste of money.

clvinning Another person sh*tting on our military because they don’t understand why we have one, and why we need such a large and powerful one. Read a history book and understand what our country has been through. It hasn’t always been like this. At the start of WWII we only had ~300,000 people in our military. Japan, Germany, Italy, All could have destroyed us. We were training our soldiers with wood boards as guns, trucks with the word “Tank” written on it. We didn’t have the money allocated to afford proper equipment. And after WWII we knew that what Alfred Mahan taught in his book was right, you cant be a powerful nation without a powerful Navy. The Japanese had almost beaten us because of this principle. We had fewer CV than them in the war and fewer warships in total. We don’t want to repeat that mistake. But now we have gone through the Cold War, we are the last superpower country. We have countries that we need to protect because of deals we have with them. And let me ask you, if we didn’t have the military presence/might that we do today, wouldn’t North Korea have bombed Japan and South Korea by now? I wouldn’t be surprised if other countries had pondered taking over another country, but chose not to do so because they knew that the US Military had a station there. “There’s some who have forgotten why we have a military. It’s not to promote war, but to be prepared for peace” ~ Ronald Reagan

The point of fusion is the possibility of a much lower price point and having abundand ressources which is not possible with current fossil fuels. You know what happened when computing power and storage went down in prices? It enabled entire new industries to rise on it. It´s the backbone of our current digital revolution. And now imagine what would happen if energy becomes abundand. It would also be a catalyst for entire new industries. So the first that achieve this holy grail of energy science should prepare themselfes for a new golden age.

Ideally, fusion produces more energy than it took to create it, a lot more. Eventually once fusion is a viable thing, somebody will invent a system where a small fusion can generate the power needed to fuel a much larger reaction, rinse and repeat and we will get to the point that we produce more energy than we have a need for.

you have to transform energy into antimatter, there no gains, antimatter is only good as a energy storage
