  Really though.

  I’ve been saying it for a while, even if we figured out fusion, it wouldn’t see the light of day.

  The petrodollar would tank in value because fusion is obviously superior to gasoline/petrol.

  It would be the end of the US currency if petroleum were to be replaced.

    Fusion reactors would be absolutely massive, centralized facilities that provide something of great value for very little labour input. They’re the PERFECT tool of capitalism.

    See I can’t see this being true, because if we figured out how to do it, and let someone else do it first, they would get all of the gains first.
