Apparently fission is now a reality. YAY! can I have one in my back yard or on my car?

Not holding my breath.

It's been five years away for at least 30 years.
I mean, unlike some things, like an EV battery that actually works better than gas, we know for a fact fusion is real, it exists...we don't know how to do it well ourselves, but at least we know its physically possible, which historically, is the main challenge for human technology.

Once its out in mainstream it will be a game changer, IF the overlords will let the common man have it. the Chinese need to steal it so it gets out here.

IIRC, fission & fusion are two different animals...

 

[Magus]

Yes. I didn't write it.
Some fool will probably weaponize it long before we get free fuel.

In fact....polar opposites....

Yeah....fusion has been weaponized since the 50s.
