I still don't understand why we waste time and money with fusion. Fision so much easier. Should focus on it. Fusion is ok, but 100 years into the future when we are bored.


ChatGPT can answer this:

> Fission is currently the most common method of generating nuclear power, and it has been used in power plants for many years. It is a relatively well-understood technology and it can provide a large amount of energy with relatively little fuel. However, fission produces radioactive waste and the risk of accidents, such as the one that occurred at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan in 2011.

> In contrast, fusion has the potential to provide even more energy than fission and it produces very little radioactive waste. It is considered a safer and more sustainable source of energy than fission.


Actually just a rhetorical question. We are so irational that fusion makes perfect sense.
