      What’s the point of this. Solar energy and wind plus batteries already have been proven to be capable of being a mitigant. Why wait for fusion.

      False. Those technologies are limited.

      I’m just saying. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good enough to get started. Fusion can’t stop cows from farting either. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pursue that.

      The economics of fusion (when it works) are about a thousand times better than the best solar and wind. Or something like that. Not even close.

          It’s probably also a lot better than the economics of fossil fuel (assuming). That doesn’t mean we stop using fossil fuel until fusion is ready.

          Maybe not a thousand times better But better scalable and not dependent on external factors. With enough energy people could get paid to suck CO2 out of the air. First as subsidies to CO2 neutral fuel/organics, then to store it underground.

          First you'd want to be really, really sure that cooling the Earth at the end of a short interglacial in a long ice age is actually a good idea.https://judithcurry.com/2018/08/14/nature-unbound-x-the-next-glaciation/ …

          Our oil, gas and coal supply is about 5000 years. Can you imagine the technological progress by then? Not only fusion, but the next step: TCME - Total conversion of matter to energy. Any matter. Unlimited energy. The future is beyond our present imagination.

          it all depends on the engineering part, it certainly has the potential to be that much better and if we do get to that +point we can clear the air from "cow farts" and CO2 that was emitted before, we can make the CO2 level go to pre-industrial revolution levels.

          I’m all for cold fusion once they figure it out.

          Also investigate liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs) combined with the Fischer-Tropsch process. You refine coal to get the thorium it contains, use it for a liquid salts reactor, then use part of the electricity to create diesel from the coal. F-T is a German WWII process.

          It *might* be, depending how well it works. For instance, the vaporware ARES reactor (of ITER>DEMO>ARES) with a build date circa 2050 is actually an order of magnitude worse in plant power density (the main cost driver) than decades-old fission LWRs. And it's just a PowerPoint.

          Looks like they're rebranded ARES as PROTO, would be shocked if the economics look much better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTO_(fusion_reactor) … Entirely possible that cheap fossil fuel era is a one-time boon that either bootstraps us into something better or ensures civilization can never arise again.
