    Cool to see that progress is being made, though we’re still several decades and many unsolved problems away from fusion as a viable power source. It does seem silly to focus so much on performing fusion here on Earth when we could just be collecting the energy from the Sun.

      I’m still hopeful for the triton stuff. The idea of harnessing the em from pulses of fusion is very clever… The engineering problems are extreme, but if they can make it work it’d be something special
