    I wonder what kind of storage solutions we could have today if we were investing as much into it as into nuclear fusion and fission…

      There is a lot of investment in energy storage solutions. Everyone knows how critically important energy storage is for our climate change present and future, and whoever develops the best and most scalable solution first will make billions of dollars.

      Nuclear fission doesn’t get that much investment afaik due to overblown radiation fears, while safe cold fusion is the real end goal of energy generation and deserves more investment than it gets now.

          Got a source? I’m genuinely curious about that, since I know cold fusion has been long considered the holy grail of energy generation. I just want to hope that it isn’t mere science fiction now :(
