neither side will allow fusion energy to go mainstream, nobody in govt cares about solutions, with solutions they will serve no purpose

California can't keep the lights on as it is. 20 million electric cars charging at the same time every night shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah we know. You guys said the same thing about the plastic bags in the '70s to save the environment too.

If a system can produce more energy than it takes in, at large enough scale, it can produce more and more and more energy... whatever we need. 

Also, you can measure it directly. If you put X energy in to make the reaction happen and got X+Y out after the reaction, well, you can put that X back in to make more energy and use the Y to power the world.

All the energy you need theoretically but at that point, see if/how greed and government come along to fock everything up.

That question was for Tim, he's a dumbazz, you're not 

[nobody 2,564]

It's a huge competitive advantage so there would be resistance to sharing it.  

The energy consumption of bitcoin mining becomes a complete non-issue

The revenue streams of the middle east dry up and those nations whither and die.  They'll be back to chopping each other's heads off as their primary industry.  Except Iran has nukes, so as the famines start setting in, and the governments destabilize, the US will have to step in and fight a war to disarm them.

Space travel will become more efficient as fusion reactors will power rockets.

As harnessing fusion becomes more attainable, weapons will become more lethal.  We can probably expect China to strap something to a hyper sonic, so the US will have to do it first.  My expectation is a new level of arms race will follow.

For countries that do have sustainable energy, containing the reaction is huge problem.  Someone will mess that up and the first few reactors will destroy themselves.  This will cause the government to regulate it to death.  

Law of unintended consequences.  I'm sure we'll figure out a way to destroy ourselves with this wonderful achievement.

Sorry the dumbazz was busy. 
 

Let’s start with this concept: imagine all the energy that New York City uses in a single day- all of the electrical power. Now imagine that all of that energy could be produced with a single glass filled with water- one cup. Thats how nuclear fusion was explained to me by my cousin, who works at the Livermore Labs- he was a Cal Tech grad. 

[nobody 2,564]

I think this free energy concept is dumb though.

Insulin costs what to make?  10 cents per dose?  Doesn't that 1 company that has a patent on the insulin gouge the hell out of everybody?

If a company did develop a reliable delivery mechanism, they'll want to recoup the billions and billions of development cost which means they'll undercut traditional power companies to put them out of business and then jack up everyone's prices.

You don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to understand the implications: a source of energy so cheap and limitless and safe that it will replace everything else. For those who understand the reference, this is John Galt’s motor.

I guess the way you would have to do it is some smart guys come up with some awesome power generation scheme.  They would want to use the existing infrastructure to deliver.  That would probably look like companies like AEP leasing that infrastructure.  But sure, I mean we can dream about free power.

I'm sure these power tycoons will give it away.

Our entire infrastructure will be replaced. Everything. That’s why I said the whole world will change. 
 

The best analogy that comes to mind is the creation of the automobile and its production, by Henry Ford, for mass use. That changed every aspect of world culture.

Why would we replace our entire infrastructure?

I think the idea is there’d be no infrastructure as everything could have its own built in power generation. I believe? But anyway it’s obviously nowhere near that scalable and won’t be for decades. Still pretty exciting though

We're talking about reactions that need magnetic fields to hold it because if the byproducts of this process touches any known substance in the world, it melts it and then destroys everything around it.  These aren't going to be in people's homes.

Look, as someone crudely pointed out above, I’m no scientist. I only understand this very vaguely, and simply, in very general layman’s terms. 
 

But I do understand, I think, that it’s going to change all the rules. It’s going to create whole new technologies, new ways of thinking and doing things that we can’t quite envision.
