Reply To: Who will develop fusion first?

Would the Earth not get heated like an oven whit all the remnant heat of thousands, even tens or hundrend thousands of reactors? Remember, we are talking about ONE BILLION DEGREES of heat in each reactor. Even with adequate cooling, there would be still a lot of remnant heat.
I hope, Dr. Eric Lerner would have some answers to this issue.

Friendly, Luis Ernesto Schmidt

If I well understood the answer of Dr. Lerner, the amount of remnant heat not directly involved in the physico-chemical reactions of fusion would be negligible and, as the bulk of the energy output of the reaction converts directly in charged electrons that will be captured to harness the electrical energy, it will be even less energy that could spread into environment.
Thanks for the answer.
