Many scientists see fusion as the future of energy – and they're betting big

There is still a great deal to be learned about plasma fluid dynamics. Probably the only good that will come out of all the work is a few generations of plasma fluid dynamicists. Pray they can find something else to do when the whole project finally fizzles out.

Well, it's not as if any of them were going to work on solar or wind power anyway, so what does it matter to you?

They are not who is consuming the $billions.

Then why the pearl-clutching over the plasma fluid dynamicists?

You were the one who brought up plasma fluid dynamicists! Then please, write plainly, and be clear as to your point to those too slow to follow.

If you just read what I wrote instead of making shit up, all will be clear. What I wrote was, exactly, "Probably the only good that will come out of all the work is a few generations of plasma fluid dynamicists."

Just read what it says instead of making shit up.
