Can nuclear fusion solve global warming? Charles Seife and I discuss. Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/ti1kDOvpEmk?sub_confirmation=1
Brian:
I think vision is as many problems as it has is here now and has many of the same
advantages that fusion the fact that traditional fission nuclear is having so much
difficulty and is so expensive relative to other forms of energy is kind of a sign, but even
if we do manage to get a fusion power plant in the next 30 years, it’s not going to be a
panacea.
Charles: It’s certainly economically a lot of problems to overcome.
Brian:
But if successful, fusion could allow unlimited energy to not only produce energy but to
decarbonize, as I understand it could decarbonize the planet and reverse global
warming, not just halt it. Did you ever encounter threats? Let me just be brutally blunt.
Did you ever feel you were threatened in any way, career-wise, intellectually, or
otherwise?
