Well done wind

You say the technology doesn’t exist for 100% implementation for renewables…..yet you are pushing nuclear fusion as the answer and yet the technology doesn’t exist

It's juat and excuse to sit around and do nothing.

In 50 years time we might have some very uneconomical first of kind plants. It won't be changing the world.

And im glad you've changed your mind and no longer think it will be cheap energy. Even the second generation are expected to be more expensive than fission plants.

I said the technology would change the world, not the first plant. Obviously.

And I haven't changed my mind about anything. I said that implementation would be expensive. Once established and widespread, power will cost essentially nothing. And it won't just be domestic energy costs that will decrease, it will be everything, because everything we purchase is dependent on energy. In real terms, the cost of living will plummet.

What's preferable - spending 20 years creating a non-scalable, unreliable energy network that essentially puts an end to technological progress, or spending 100 years getting the world running on zero pollution, almost zero cost, unlimited energy? It's not a trick question.

That's not why I don't want to see 100% renewables, as I've said several times.

It is not unreliable

And it is scalable, 30% of our electricity comes from renewables.

False framing

Renewable energy wind sun sea, development does not preclude development of alternative technologies like fusion.

The world is never going to rely on one energy source, so there will always be an energy mix

Stick to soft furnishings mate, it is more your thing.

Si, What point are you trying to make, exactly??
Or are you just nitpicking/trolling??

Are you people spectacularly lazy or just thick as mince?

Post No. 1 on the topic, which I re-iterated over 20 times.

If the country had invested the same amount of money into nuclear research as 'clean energy' since the 80s instead of obsessing over windmills and solar panels, we'd likely be some way to building the first fusion plants. Zero cost energy, completely unlimited, zero operating pollution.
