The fusion energy industry could produce a breakthrough in human history akin to the adoption of electricity
Being an anti-nuclear guy ……. up to now, I do think, and have always thought that nuclear fusion is a splendid idea. If it can be made to work. The problems with fission is safety of blowing up of course. But also the radio active by-products with half-life of thousands of years. Oh, and decommissioning the plant which remain similarly poisonous.
“…. If it can be perfected, there’s enough fuel for everyone on Earth to use as much energy annually as the average American for at least thousands of years, and probably millions. This form of power doesn’t produce carbon dioxide or long-lived radioactive waste,”
Any nuclear physicists in here to set me straight? What is this long-lived radioactive waste. how long? Really, is this the answer we hope it is?
