[strong]GRIDLOCKED[/strong]
22% BY 2035? EVs ARE BETTER THAN THIS
[em]The EV Market Is Gridlocked[/em]
A serious constraint on EV market growth is that projected grid capacity and extent cannot power a world of EVs recharging at will. Even optimistic growth estimates for renewables will still require enforcement of off-peak recharging. That will hurt market growth for decades.
GET FUSION
[em]Objectives In Mirror Are Closer Than Than They Appear[/em]
Times change. Fusion may be much closer, much smaller and much cheaper than many have thought. What is new is that various small companies are now investigating various methods of avoiding obstacles that have hampered the “Big Fusion” projects. Several of these fusion contenders are working to fuse standard fuels at standard temperatures but in smaller, more manageable configurations. Other contenders are researching advanced fusion fuels at even higher temperatures in even smaller devices.
[em]Fusion Unlocks The Market[/em]
The grid needs power and the grid needs to grow wherever and whenever it can do the most good.The result from any successful fusion contender would be the sustainable, safe power of fusion delivered in small commercial installations built wherever they are needed as they are needed. And the contenders expect research results in years at most – not decades. Any and all of their fusion technologies, if successful, could easily power and grow a global distributed grid that can handle an all- EV world. But these small companies all have one thing in common: they need you.
[em]Coffee, Tea… or EVs Everywhere?[/em]
The research budget of a typical fusion contender is less than what a large corporation spends on coffee supplies and yet funding for more agile fusion solutions has been nonexistent. The contenders need investment, especially from investors who’d like some answers within years, not decades.
The potential payoff? Even the most basic form of fusion would solve grid power issues permanently. Each successful contender would have its advantages and disadvantages compared to the others but any one of them would leave all non-fusion power sources in the dust. EVs would be everywhere because sustainable power on demand would be everywhere.
It is research and there can be no guarantees but consider diversifying investment into at least some of these companies… because even one success will change the world.
