Comment by kristina [she/her]@hexbear.net on Chinese scientists strike early gold in race to nuclear fusion power

yeah but regardless fusion is necessary research for the future of humanity. we might get some decent fusion in our lifetimes but i doubt it will power most things even then, purely just because it might take them decades to build the infrastructure. fission is really the goat that we need right now.

but shitting on new tech as outlandish is weird, people would say computers were garbage back in the 50s too. the tech here is promising and worth billions, even trillions of research, purely because it will secure the energy needs of humanity should it become efficient. which is kinda the big deal. same thing happened with computers and other tech. sure it sucks when inefficient but man is it great when it is
