Buttadeus: It broadly makes sense to me that solar is wildly more practical than fusion.

the climate story right now is in a very weird state of flux a) the warming we've priced in is bad and really starting to show itself b) the renewable story is astoundingly good and getting better we are left with "warming is going to get worse but almost certainly not as much as it could have"

it's always important to demand better, but part of the reason that the story of climate policy isn't sticking is partly because bad news feels more plausible and partly because the people most invested in this policy understand its limits. www.notus.org/biden-2024/v... hard to sell "mixed-positive"

Biden’s Record Is Full of Climate Wins — So Why Don’t Voters Know It?www.notus.org Environmental groups are making a concerted effort to educate voters about President Joe Biden’s climate policies ahead of the election.

Ok so if allow myself total blue sky hope, here’s where I think we may end up; basically boundless carbon free energy with a marginal cost approaching zero, which would utterly transform basically…everything

the pie in the sky promise on that front has always been fusion but it really seems like we have a chance to get close to it with solar if trends continue it would really be something

We already have a very big fusion reactor churning out literally unfathomable amounts of energy! Just gotta capture some of it

Was just going to say that solar is just fusion energy off-shored and downstream.

It broadly makes sense to me that solar is wildly more practical than fusion.

Scaling is a bitch.
