China’s top weapons scientist says nuclear fusion power is 6 years away

It is not failure to them since their goal is a complete destruction of America, and then selling it off in bits and pieces. This is still a ground floor opportunity for psychopaths with a burning desire for control and wealth. Get in now, sell your soul, and your time here on earth will be all you think you want it to be. Just serve the party and lie, cheat, steal, gaslight, and do whatever it takes to win over the people (American politicians). America is a dumpster fire right now, and it does not look good for her empire. Oh well, she had a good run. No empire lasts forever. Life will go on, and hopefully the human race will continue to evolve in positive ways.

nothing you say is technically not true, from a certain perspective, but the ROW (rest of world) has worse problems than america ... it's like being the world's 9th worst poker player at the table, but if the other 8 players are shittier than you, you'll still end up kicking ass as the best ...

whatever problems USA has, the ROW has it worse ... Uncle Sam is still going to dominate for at least another 10 years, likely more.

i say this as a reluctant Canadian citizen born on foreign shores, and a heavy critic of American foreign (and domestic) policy.

peeps like to compare the current state of the American Empire to the Fall of Rome, but these peeps forget that it took the Roman Empire around 400+ years to fall ...

Well as Yodena stated you are correct and so he is and technically so is STEFK. The question is how much shitter will it get and at what pace. All trends are accelerating much faster than expected. Right now the real strength of the US lies in the USD. Could the BRICS come up with something new? If they come up with a new system. Then the next question is at what pace? If their current trajectory is anything to go by then the USD could have 10 years possibly more, but if the trend to find a new world reserve currency picks up the pace then maybe 10 years might be too long.

The internet and by default Social media (SM) have dumbed down the populace at an incredibly fast and stunning pace. In the end, outcomes are based on perceptions and anyone that has more power than another to alter perceptions is going to dominate. So far in terms of media control, the US also dominates but other outlets, such as tick-tock etc, are gaining traction.

From a moral perspective, the West has lost the battle. From an economic perspective, they are also losing the long game, but from a currency perspective and MP perspective, the west is still a formidable force. In the end, dollars win over blood and MP can be used to recreate reality. So, for now the West still has the upper hand. It remains to be seen how long they can hold onto this hand.

Peng Xianjue unveils plans for combined fusion-fission reactor that could make China world’s first to achieve the elusive viable energy source
No country has so far managed to build a facility that generates more power than it uses in the fission process

Is this true, or all hot air? If true, the implications are quite large

Fusion power has been my wet dream for the world since the 70's. If I remember correctly, the University of Syracuse was involved with the first ever fusion reaction that required less energy for (laser) ignition, than it produced, a net plus. To commercialize, the thinking was, it would have to be a continuous process. Problem being containing the process, which is magnetically, and don't ask me how.

Many countries have pursued the goal, some collaborating, realizing the cost to pursue, too expensive for any one country. If any one country did, they could ostensibly have an energy monopoly. Electricity? Hydrogen from electrolosis? What's your pleasure?

Pulsed rather than continuous reaction possible, sure, commercially viable, don't think so, but maybe for some years.

I call B.S.

Physicists models not predicting properly yet 100% of the energy in the plasma created.

“Our simulations use models to predict the outcome of our experiments. Those models are based on theoretical ideas which need to be simplified to allow calculation; we can’t simulate all of the [1,000,000,000,000,000,000] ions individually,” Dr Hartouni told The Independent in an email. “This could be a sign that our models won’t be good enough to predict the plasmas in this burning plasma, especially as the yield of the implosions increase.”
