minus-squareDaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoWell according to the 1993 classic, “SimCity 2000,” fusion power becomes available to build in the year 2050. Since I have no other source that provides an exact date of viability, this remians the most reliable prediction we have.

minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comBannedlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoit’s definitely one of the ideas of all time. i just wish people would stop pretending like it’s “just right around the corner” Meanwhile germany is burning more coal than it ever has to generate power because they no longer have nuclear energy. And gas is expensive.
