Plus, this is about 10-th time in the last 10 years we are told "we are around the corner, clean energy will save us". Please tune down the message.

I like how this graph describes why nuclear fusion technology always seems to be "just around the corner": https://imgur.com/a/59NO34a

I really hate what hippies did to nuclear energy. We would've long solved the clean energy problem by now if they hadn't violently opposed anything with the word nuclear

If they could explain how fusion energy can kill more people than fusion bombs funding would be unlimited.

Maybe the corner is just a very long one, but one that’s so important to turn any material progress is important news? I think post scarcity is monumental.
