I'm a big fan of nuclear fusion as an upcoming technology, seeing as it's completely safe, no long-term waste, much more reliable than wind/solar. |
Much more reliable? You mean the sun isn't shining in the desert tomorrow?
Of course when people think of fusion, they think of DD or DT fusion. These reactions create a mess of neutrons that destabalizes and "poisons" the equipment over time. If you dismantle a nuclear power plant, pretty much everything is radioactive waste, same is likely true for a fusion plant.
Fusion sounds interesting but the equipment will be way too complex/expensive to build/handle. Mirrors, water in a steam engine is much simpler technology available now. As the engineering rule number one goes "Fusion is the technology of the future. Always was and always will be".
