Ted Cruz is running for President and is targeting the the lowest common denominator voters

Lord_ByronRealistically, we could fuse atoms and release energy within about 2 years. But the financial investment, energy needed, and effort wouldn't be worth the payout. We could see the first energy chain within 20 years, and possibly see fusion powering homes within 50.

"Fusion energy is always 50 years away." We've got a longgggg way to go with laser confinement fusion to make energy. The problem that NIF has now is that the laser isn't providing perfectly even compression of the target and so it doesn't stay confined long enough to produce enough energy to reach the necessary threshold.

...but seriously, did you write this (or copy/paste)? Pretty thorough explanation. There's also magnetic confinement fusion, hence all the research into tokamaks. The latest foray in this direction is ITER. It'll be really interesting if it ever works; already, it's a pretty neat glimpse into intercontinental large-scale research.

i wrote it lol

Huck_NorrisLol give it up retard.

sometimes it's best to remain silent and be thought of as a simpleton moron
than post and remove all doubt
Rocky mountain power has built an infrastructure that relies on
consumers purchasing coal fired electric plants energy
that is how they make $$$. they don't make money on solar energy
and makin $$$ is what their bullshit hokey burn fossil fuels pokies is about
in the 2 decades ive been here they manage to jack their rates 7-14 % yearly
i'm done they get $8 a month from me
that's it.
my note on the solar panels never changes and
they are scared to the bejeebus of solar energy and use their $$$ to pay lobbyist to poo poo it because it doesn't make them $$$ and allow for their overpaid exects to garner hudge bonuses
They tried to double the $8 grid service charge but were soundly shut down because people are sick of our shitty air and are starting to realize
you don't need to pay for sumthin mother nature provides for free.
Teddies hoosier homophobic religious right bigots watchin the $$$ go elsewhere
buddy now?
