    Despite being perpetually “20 years away”, I still think we’ll crack it before we run out of room on the planet for more solar panels.

      It can make sense also, for example, in parts of the world that aren’t a good fit for solar power. I’d argue for more nuclear before space solar, but it’s not like there’s zero sense in it.

      wild how people literally can’t read more than one sentence before replying.

        I thought based on your first sentence which implied fusion was a pipe dream, that the second paragraph suggesting “more nuclear” would be referring to fission. “More” implies some already exists, and as you’ve already noted, there is no fusion in use.

          I’m responding to this, there’s potential uses outside of “we ran out of room on earth”

          It can make sense also, for example, in parts of the world that aren’t a good fit for solar power.
