It could be that the answer to our energy problems does not exist on earth.
Current fusion testing uses hydrogen, just as the sun does. Unfortunately, around 80% of the energy released in hydrogen fusion is in the form of high energy 0n1 (neutron) radiation that literally thermal spikes whatever contains the reaction to rubble (the structure becomes so neutron embrittled that it can no longer carry its own weight, not even thinking about the incredible pressures it must contain to sustain the fusion). So? The alternative is the fusion of Helium 3, which has a much lower neutron yield). And where do we get He3? Why, the moon, sillies! He3 is the solar wind, blocked by our atmosphere, but adsorbed into the moon’s sediments to the tune of 4 billion years worth of solar wind deposit).
In any energy economy of the future, nuclear fission or fusion will play an increasingly leading role, because we are not addicted to gasoline and ptroleum, sillies, we are addicted to ELECTRICITY. Even if we transition to a hydrogen economy, you have to free hydrogen by hydrolysis of water, which always costs more in energy that it frees. To have that kind of electrical supply available and affordable, you will need a vast base load generation system in place.
Peak oil, like famine, is likely a political constuct employed by sociopaths (read leftist politicians and “enviromentalists”) to further their benighted agendas.
