Mmm hmm.

Via: Telegraph:

Commercial nuclear fusion has gone from science fiction to science fact in less than a decade. Even well-informed members of the West’s political class are mostly unaware of the quantum leap in superconductors, lasers, and advanced materials suddenly changing the economics of fusion power.

…

A poll at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s forum in London found that 65pc of insiders think fusion will generate electricity for the grid at viable cost by 2035, and 90pc by 2040.

    There’s “will generate”, and then there’s “could generate”. I can’t see oil, gas or coal producers giving up their market share anytime soon. What will be the results in the Middle East if we don’t need fossil fuels anymore?
