Here’s a vicious and cynical line of thinking:
1) Oil wells become depleted because the energy required to get the oil out of the ground costs more then the energy yielded by the oil as fuel.
2) All oil wells are not tapped completely dry, there is almost always some deposit that can’t be sucked up economically.
3) A focus fusion reactor onsite vastly changes the cost of energy needed to extract the oil from the depleted wells.
4) There are tons and tons of depleted wells across the US.
5) If focus fusion works, why not use it to up US oil productivity to prevent a peak oil economic crash while EESTOR or some other electric car tech is implemented?
