Is Nuclear Fusion The Answer To Clean Energy?

17:44 “public opinion on nuclear fission remains split” Badum tss That’s a good one 👍

CNBC really upping their YouTube game.

Fusion being a huge game changer is an understatement. It would be a technological breakthrough as great as fire, or gunpower, or the transistor. It would open up the potential for a golden age for humanity.

3 years later and the breakthrough happened 12/12/22

The moral of the story is : It's a lot easy to break things (fission), than to make make things (fusion)

Being for the environment and against nuclear is the most hypocritical way one could think. Also, the data processing abilities and AI algorithms have sped the race to positive production fusion.

Nuclear engineering is amazing. I had the privledge of knowing Tom Andrews, Senior Instant Response Coordinator for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Dallas area. Amazing guy. Was my neighbor growing up, and ended up being a second dad to me. Nuclear is the way to go. Wanted to shout out to Tom who passed away. Love you dude! I know you're in heaven smiling down at all of us wondering wth were thinking!

Fusion power has only been 10 years away for the last 50 years.

This is a lot better reporting on something like nuclear energy than I was expecting from CNBC, well done.

6:06 a neutron should have came out of that reaction.

Opposing fission because of exceedingly rare disasters is akin to opposing aviation due to airliner crashes. Yes when things go bad they go really bad....but it's still much safer to fly than it is to drive. The same goes for nuclear fission. It's safer not only directly for us, but for the planet.

17:44 "public opinion on nuclear fission remains split" then we must unite our efforts for nuclear fusion

In Sim City 3000 I believe the nuclear fusion power plant was unlocked once your city reached the year 2050 :)

Nuclear energy is like the only renewable energy source that many people dislike, despite its pros.

Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave, with a box of scraps!

"Nuclear fission was discovered in late 1938" (Germany). Nuclear fission was first theorized by Tadayoshi (Japan, 1934)

Nuclear is absolutely the best way to be "green." Glad to see some attention being shined on the subject...this is a debate we seriously need to have. Safe, clean and plentiful, why would we NOT be producing more Nuclear plants, that is the question.

14:07 who needs fusion, this guy is welding IN REVERSE

"It will not happen in our lifespan, it will happen I our grandchildren's lifespan", that guy is like the prof in intersellar.

I totally agree. This is definitely a mentality issue. We have to encourage governments to contribute actively in fusion energy projects no matter how long it takes. If finally a breakthrough is achieved, it's going to be the biggest solution to our energy crises. We have to make the public aware of the benefits of fusion energy to our planet and our future generation by educating them. This is the only way a mentality change can occur. At the moment the vast majority are ignorant to the benefits and knowledge of fusion energy.
