It looks like one of the main problems with fusion are the materials.

Long-term research and design strategies for fusion energy materials

the materials required for commercially viable fusion power plants do not exist today. […] The challenge of fusion materials is compounded by the fact that design targets are not precisely defined and are rapidly evolving and by a lack of representative testing facilities.

Ah ok, thank you for clarifying that!

This discussion has fundamentally very little to do with the energy transition and is more generally about destructive mining practices

What is called energy transition (I believe energy addition is a more accurate term) needs several elements that come from mining. So I am not sure I understand why you consider that mining should not be part of the conversation, since it is a necessary step.

Btw I think I don’t understand what you mean with your last sentence.

Totally. According to the IEA map, it is ideal because Taiwan is close to the borders of tectonic plates.

My experience with this title/article was similar but ended with me wondering what was I expecting from a title like that, and kinda laughing about it. That’s mainly why I thought of sharing it, I mean sure the recipes seem great too haha.

Btw sorry you got disappointed tho, I hope not too much.
