Breathless press: Fusion energy breakthrough!

Me: reading article “blah blah blah Lawrence Livermore blah

Me: This is nuclear bomb research. Nothing to see here. Also solar panels literally exist. Move along.


I swear, “fusion power stations” are the global death industrial complex’s fig leaf for bomb research just as “hydrogen cars” are the global death industrial complex’s fig leaf for digging oil out of the ground.

America and France: Hi! We have world-leading programmes to develop and study high temperature deuterium-tritium plasmas, and also space programmes which use solid rocket boosters which you could hypothetically launch into a sub orbital trajectory with a payload of a few tonnes at very short notice. These are unrelated and very highly civilian normal things we are doing. Also, STAR TREK!
