The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off
You seem to be implying that fusion is a gimmick of an idea by comparing it to Hyperloop which was nothing but that.
Fusion is a mechanism which has been providing humanity with energy from the first moments in the form of the sun. It’s a well known functional form of energy generation. The struggle isn’t whether or not it could possibly work, but just to make it practical enough to make it work.
This isn’t even necessarily about a single company promising that they have an idea that may work, this is an example of it functioning in some capacity.
I didn’t miss it, I just didn’t search through your comment history to find your own arguments for you. Consider editing the actual top level comment if you want to use these arguments without retyping them.
Let me ask as an informal poll, how many of you here were all into Elon Musk;s Hyperloop as a sure thing back when he first introduced it?

Your comparison is simply arbitrary.
I am implying no such thing. I even explained why I brought up the Hyperloop. Maybe you missed the comment?

Not my job to retype, your job to read if you want.
Lol what? This is a crazy take. I’m not reading you’re comment history to make sense of a single comment
It’s not my job to do either of those things. It may have been in your interest to make a comprehensible point though.
What in tarnation? You literally did no such thing in this thread. You expect people to go find your comments?
By gosh! Golly gee willikers. I guess I forgot to make this comment right here. Let me go back right quick and make it now.
While you’re at it, figure out how a thread works. And maybe tack on some social awareness.
I think it won’t be in our lifetimes, if ever. Its a cool idea though
