The fusion future that may never arrive
Fusion is periodically touted as the next big thing in energy. Even if it proves commercially feasible someday, that day is far off.

Doubling down on fusion
There’s a reason the U.S. is asking the world to double down on fusion energy at the UN climate summit known as COP 28. The rest of the energy transition isn’t going as planned. It’s part of the fantasy of a painless energy transition.
Fusion Foolery
It seems quite clear that the track we are on does not lead to the stars, but to ignominious self-termination of this whacky mode called modernity.
Fusion: It’s messier and harder than you think
Fusion energy has long been touted as a panacea for our energy woes. Even if we are someday able to produce more energy than we consume in creating fusion reactions, fusion will turn out to be far messier and harder to implement than most people realize.
Nuclear Fusion Won’t Save the Climate But It Might Blow Up the World
Sadly, fusion won’t save the Arctic from melting, but if we don’t put a stop to it, that breakthrough technology could someday melt us all.
Nuclear Fusion: Don’t believe the hype!
So why all this attention toward the imagined potential for fusion energy? It is yet another attempt by those who believe that only a mega-scaled, technology-intensive approach can be a viable alternative to our current fossil fuel-dependent energy infrastructure.
