We've made progress but it's been decades in the making and I'd be willing to bet will be a few decades more, even if I do expect it to get there one day. But what's dystopian about fusion? It's just another energy source. A bit cleaner than some of the older ones, but not really anything fundamentally different. permalink fedilink source parent
