Excellent news. Small steps to hopefully thread the needle with. Don’t be discouraging, people, we need success and vigor.

We need renewables now, not viable fusion two decades from now.

Why not both? 😅

Sure, I’m on board with that. But unfortunately all to often hype around fusion is a red herring by the fossil fuel industry :c

It’s safer for their finances to have the public entertain a pipe dream, rather than a reality check.

Sorry, that’s false. Is it potentially being co-opted as a distraction by those industries? Yes, in fact probably because of how scummy fossil fuel industries are.
That doesn’t mean anyone is under the illusion that this is a replacement for renewables now. Grow up.
This is still, long term, research ave development which needs to be done.

It’s gonna be both. Only a simpleton would be worried others think that way.
