    Maybe at some point the Americans will get scared that the Chinese are actually making strides ahead of them in electrification and decarbonization to actually get unstuck from their idiotic culture war over fossil fuels.

      It will take a new space race for that to happen.

        The space race is on. That’s why Starship has been launching so much. Someone at the FAA must have finally realized that if SpaceX doesn’t go ahead at full SpaceX speed, we’re gonna see China take over space.

        They’ve got a space station and a rover on the moon. China will easily overtake us in space, has already in a few places.

            True. China is making rapid gains in territory and influence on Earth and Luna, and soon plans to expand its operations into the Belt.

          And by “take over” you mean uselessly posture and dick waggle and colonialize in brand new space accords breaking ways.

          This is not something anyone is winning.

            Oh yes, this is a competition, and someone is going to win it.

            There are lots of resources out there. Far more than here. Most of “the world” is out there. This is happening whether we like it or not.

            And all the “dick waggling” is steps on the path to it happening. Funny flesh images, homoerotic shaming, whatever this dick talk is about whenever space comes up, none of it changes the serious nature of what’s going on in space.

              Lmao it would be more economical to colonize the ocean floor than space. Extracting resources from space isn’t happening any time soon, no amount of musks copium will fix that.

              The “serious nature” of what’s happening in space is an accelerating geopolitical posturing. Nothing any country is doing right now are the things they’d do if they seriously intended to settle space.

              If the intent of course was to show off military might, ruin the the space treaty for colonialization and imperialism, and attempt brinksmamship, well they are coincidentally working down the checklist!

      Fossil fuels aren’t just a culture war. Energy is really important for people, including poor people.

        Poor people also care about not dying from the effects of climate change.

        Poor people don’t care about the megaprofits of the oil, gas, and automotive industries.

    To the best of my knowledge, this is the first commercially-funded (i.e., non-government) nuclear fusion reactor. Notable investors are MiHoYo (developers of Genshin Impact), Nio (Chinese EV company), and Sequoia Capital…

      It’s the CCP. You can’t have a non government funded company.

        Your claim is that MiHoYo, a gaming company responsible for Genshin Impact, is a government funded company?

        Okay then.

          You think a company producing weeb games can’t do this at the behest of a totalitarian government?

          Okay then

            Hey, please avoiding words like totalitarian and authoritarian. They’re often used to make a false equivalence between fascist and socialist projects.

            Horseshoe theory is ultimately rooted in holocaust trivialization.

            Considering China can barely control their domestic EV industry from initiating a price war so aggressive they’ve effectively commoditized EVs… Yes?

          $147000 is a lot of money to grant to three college kids with zero proven business record.

      It is not the first commercially funded fusion reactor even assuming this qualified.

      Not hard to find a bunch.

    It means it’s been commoditized, which is useful for obvious reasons

      In what sense? They still have not achieved net power out.

      Also “q>10 new reactor by 2027”
