Fusion won't happen for the simple reason it needs a helluva lot of energy to initiate and it's impossible to control.

Re: It's getting windier.
Its not impossible in fact newer tests have had the reactor and process running for lengthy periods. End of day in 10 or so years we will crack it. Why give up on a idea because we "cant do it", we wont get anywhere with that attitude.
It will work.

Re: It's getting windier.
The way we live now has to change. We have the technology for the most part ( lpg..dual fuelled half electric cars) and everything else.
Its public attitude of not caring which means the goverments will do w/e they want.

Re: It's getting windier.
Sad as this may sound I've actually really enjoyed the scientific aspects of this thread (possibly more so than the doom and gloom side of things)..... Perhaps we could do with a "Science Can Be Fun" thread / section so that we can post and discuss different "interesting" scientific facts.
If it was a whole section we could have whole threads devoted to one topic rather than a confusing mish-mash of different stuff.
Is there likely to be much call for this or am I the only saddo on CF?

Where did I say it was impossible?
I just said it wasn't really viable without significant refinement of current ideas.

Re: It's getting windier.
our ideas are sound..its our technology which needs work.
Sadly with any new thing it requres money, and until the goverment gives enough cash it will take time to happen.

Re: It's getting windier.
Whats sad about having a interest in future technology which could help us in upcoming years.
Sad to me is people who scoff at ideas, then embrace them once they are released.
