    Funny how you just happen to be one of these people, while the entire leadership of China, a nation best known for its long term planning, is just completely ignorant of all this. 🤣

      Perhaps China’s long term planning is not as good as you think it is. And arguments from authority ain’t.

            And? The authority that shouldn’t be listened to is? China? Why? What alternative do you recommend then?

              In most cases, where you can independently verify facts on your own there’s no need to resort to an external authority. Particularly, when we’re asked to cease thinking and just rely on assumptions that other people might have made is particularly puzzling to me.

              Do I expect that China will succeed generating excess power from D-T fusion eventually? Yes. Do I expect that it will be economical, ever? Hell, no.
