The Focus Fusion Society › Forums › Focus Fusion Cafe › Toshiba's "Micro Nuclear Reactor" – it's not fusion, but it's here now › Reply To: T-shirt designers unite and take over
ailabsI’m sure it’s not a question of “if” but “when” focus fusion or similar fusion technologies become feasible and commercialized.
There is a psychological component everybody seems to miss and which makes us pay $100/barrel of oil. “Everybody knows” we’ll have abundant and cheap energy in 20-30 years. If we were able to declare NOW that in 3 years we’ll have a working, commercializable fusion plant, it would change the psychology / dynamics of the marketplace. Reagan’s “Star Wars” didn’t have to succeed right away (we have it now, 20 years later) it just had to change perceptions. It did and communism is dead, for all practical purposes.
As soon as we announce a working fusion technology we’ll have cheap energy again, end inflationary pressures, and stop financing global terror.
