Nuclear Fusion: Big AI’s Fig Leaf to Cover their Fossil Fuel Energy Splurge?
Don’t pay attention to all the fossil fuel, that’s just a stepping stone to our glorious AI enabled green energy future.
Mad Miliband: “The future of [nuclear] fusion energy starts now”
Apparently all you need to do to ensure “the creation of highly skilled jobs and driving growth into our industrial heartlands” is to create planning guidelines for nuclear fusion plants.
The Fusion Race Heats Up
Several U.S.-based private sector projects are under way, including those reliant on stellarators rather than tokamaks, but none have confined plasma for anything near 18 minutes, and there are huge…
Will Nuclear Fusion Soon Be the “Norm?”
If Norm is as advertised, it will accelerate the pathway to commercial hydrogen-boron fusion – a safe, clean, and virtually limitless energy source.

Nuclear (Con)fusion: Why the Gee-Whizz Factor Costs so Much
By Macskelek – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, Like all gee-whiz moonbeams-to-cucumbers notions, this granddaddy of them all is irremediably failing, at prodigious cost to us all.
ITER Fusion Energy Project: ‘Record-setting Disaster’
With each passing decade, this record-breaking monument to big international science looks less and less like a cathedral—and more like a mausoleum.
Surprise: The Gigantic International ITER Fusion Project “May Be Delayed by Years”
The 2025 planned date to create a plasma has been set back for “months, even years”.
DOE Offers $33 Million to Fund a Credible AI Fusion Proposal
So the DOE is offering money to AI researchers, in the hope that the magic of AI can help make the magic of nuclear fusion a reality.
National Ignition Facility Exceeds Break Even Nuclear Fusion
An American first on a par with the historical significance of the moon landing – scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have exceeded fusion break even.
World Economic Forum: Hydrogen Boron Nuclear Fusion Anticipated by 2030
Are greens replacing fantasies of energy sources which don’t work, with fantasies of energy sources which don’t exist?
Lawrence Livermore Claims a Near Break Even Nuclear Fusion Burn
Inertial confinement fusion researchers have claimed a near break even experimental nuclear fusion burn, in which energy produced by the fusion reaction was comparable to the energy injected to initiate…
Futile fusion research
Is there hope for commercially viable fusion power? Yes, because other “magnetic bottles” and fusion fuel cycles exist. The related physics is much more difficult, but we won’t know if…
