Ok i didn’t watch much of the youtube video
But the short answer is yes. Eventually. The Gretas of this world prefer to keep the fusion reactor 93 million miles away but they are for the most part able to afford their electric bill !

The Gretas of this world prefer to keep the fusion reactor 93 million miles away but they are for the most part able to afford their electric bill ! Even if you could get the Tokamak to work, the overall cost would kill the idea. How much would all those huge superconducting magnets cost and then control systems and vacuum pumps? Then you have low level nuclear waste with material contaminated with neutron radiation. Surly it is better to use perovskites for solar cells, get you 40% efficiency and then build those on spare land along with offshore wind and use high voltage DC transmission lines. The wind should give you the base load in the winter because it is nearly always windy somewhere within a 1000m of where we are. Solar power is OK for the summer if we can store the difference around the clock. I think we could maybe use domestic sodium batteries for this. |
