No, Fusion Energy Won't Be "Limitless"
12 Apr 2023 | Abstracted from Wired
"...ignition experiment still consumed energy overall, because the laser burned a lot more power than it delivered to its target...you can argue that fusion energy is as limitless as there are hydrogen atoms in the universe...
"The early conclusion is that fusion energy ain't going to be cheap - certainly not the cheapest source of electricity over the coming decades as more solar and wind come online...In most scenarios, fusion appears likely to end up in a niche much like that held by good ol? nuclear fission today, albeit without the same safety and waste headaches."
