Love to see another thorium enthusiast, absolute shame more people don't know about it.

Also absolutely agree that big energy magnates will suppress this. Ironically tho, I think it will be authoritarian regimes using/advancing this new kind of energy just like what is happening with the thorium reactors in China

Very insightful video and I wasn't aware of a lot of the things he said. But I also got some unanswered questions watching it.

Okay we are in the infant stages of nuclear fusion and this was one of many breakthroughs to come, but how long will the breakthroughs take? From what I've seen from other knowledgeable people on the matter they said what happened earlier this month was assumed to be 20 to 30 years down the road.

Also can we try this in a bigger scale (with improved energy efficiency ofc) and compensate the amount of energy we need to put in it?

Last thing, when he brought up renewables he did make an interesting point that if clean energy continues to fall in price as it should, nuclear fusion might prove to be unnecessary do to being more expansive, but at the end of the day that depends on how fast the price of renewables drops and how fast the technology on nuclear fusion speeds up.
