I know this is probably tongue in cheek, but I genuinely thought the same until recently. There's a company called Helion which is developing a really cool fusion process that doesn't use steam as an energy transfer mechanism. Obviously it has its own set of drawbacks and roadblocks, but still really cool tech in the making.

Here's the video I saw going into detail on it if anyone's interested:

Oh yeah I've seen that one.

Honestly I don't have high hopes, they believe their next model will solve the shortcomings they face with it's size, but that could reveal a whole other set of issues.

Same, expectations are definitely in check, but cool none the less! I feel like there are a lot of hiccups here that would need to be smoothed out before this would become anything remotely feasible.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
