Fusion is constant, wouldn’t require large amounts of batteries to store energy. There are advantages to each.
thus the term “energy mix”… nobody arguing in good faith says PV is all we need
It’s not though, not withstanding stars. We’ve managed 17 minutes so far. We’re so far away from turning this into a useable power source that it’s absurd.
So? The trick is to keep developing the technology, not give up because it doesn't immediately deliver unlimited energy.
We've been working on fusion in one form or another for nearly 100 years. We're still nowhere near turning it into a useable energy source. I don't really care if research continues or not, I'm sure the research can be useful in other areas but fusion is not going to save us.
