One of the great oddities of our time is the widespread belief that our CO2 emissions will destroy the Earth in the 21st century...
..It’s also unlikely, and widespread belief it is probability is stunning achievement of modern propaganda.
In the real world, the technology of energy generation and use advances rapidly. Although nuclear power is dying as an industry (destroyed by incompetence), solar tech is taking a growing share of the electric generation market.
Steady improvements suggest that it has a big future (although less than dreamers believe)...
...The private sector sees profits in fusion power
The US government fusion program was funded since 1976 at levels far below that required to deliver results at at some indefinite date (“far out in time”; see the last section below).
