Commercial nuclear fusion power isn’t a reality yet. But venture capital is flowing into startups that promise that clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy is no longer just a distant dream.
Does fusion power eventually end up being radiated away as heat? Would gigantic power generation through fusion not eventually end up heating our planet?
Yes, but it is a tiny amount compared to the heat the sun radiates onto earth. Luckily the planet can also radiate away heat and controls the amount it is retaining with greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. To keep some warmth at night or fry the fuck out of us if we keep increasing it.
