Does it occur to you to wonder why we don't just take that energy of the sun you describe so beautifully as is, and put it to full use by all people, rather than trying to copy what it does, to sell to those who can afford it?

The same industry as funds fusion research of course say this isn't possible.

But it is, fully possible, we have a whole spectrum of technologies easily capable of doing it, and it only takes less than two years to go fully solar on a community basis with limited funds.

With unlimited funds, as has to happen by going fully solar, given such funds can now precede the physical development, it can be even less, much less than a year.

By formal systems analysis techniques we can even show that this is the real physical reason for the inflation we are now seeing, money is simply not representing solar energy being received, so it is devaluaing.

To represent the energy of the sun, money has to be issued for free to all people, because the Joules from the sun are received for free, from an extraterrestrial source of Joules, the only one, no energy or labor of extraction needed.

Since the disparity between the energy recieved, and the money issued, is increasing exponentially whilst solar energy is being necessarily scaled up, so also must the inflation continue to increase exponentally.

Realistically, the value of money is set to drop to zero long before thirty years, so it has to be issued soon.

I think fusion after that might continue, maybe for use on spacecraft etc, but for now it distracts completely from the value of solar, needed to fix the immediate energy problem which is existential, it seems to me.
