Palladium isn’t really being pursued anymore with most net gain fusion setups these days.

CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 1 month agoFair enough, I assumed it was for batteries
I wish they’d throw more money at cold fusion too. Just need Palladium for that one 😅

Even if it was for batteries, unless we get fusion factors down to something that can fit in a car, power drill, smartphone, etc. batteries are still going to be a big part of the equation.
Sure, you can generate enough juice to power whatever you want, but only as long as it’s plugged in, anything that needs to get detached from the grid is still going to need batteries, and you probably don’t want your car hooked up to a 10 mile long power cord for your commute.

True, but we now have sodium batteries so thats cool
