There are hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in nuclear fusion at the moment and it has been suggested we could have had it going by now if big money was invested several decades ago.
Those involved understand the complexities of building a fusion reactor that will supply unlimited and clean energy, but human ingenuity is sharpened when the world is confronted with a serious challenge to our way of life.
Given 2 or 3 decades we should have mastered nuclear fusion and once that happens we can easily support 10 billion people. With unlimited energy we can grow crops in multistory buildings and desalinate or purify as much water as we want. Transport can be cheap and the environment can be allowed to regenerate.
A lack of imagination seems to be a common theme when reading posts from climate deniers. Comments like this from
