Wait till you find out how nuclear fusion makes electricity
You mean, how it will in 20 years?
Perpetually so
It’s like Musk time. In 20 years it’ll only be 20 years away.
Helion’s approach is actually different. They are attempting to capture energy directly through induction. I hope it pans out for them, seems like a really interesting approach.
That seems inefficient
