then, for bigger things like ships - perhaps planes - maybe trucks (but, they might go EV) --

then, I would think that if compact fusion could be done at the price - then, it would be all over red rover and you wouldn't see a hydrogen powered large transport for dust

all of us have to realise that we are in the real baby steps of a transport revolution here ------EV's ie. cars -might be an evolution - but, as an industry - we are in the early stages of a revolution --

it's far more likely to be like movies ------------- reel to reel, beta, vhs, dvd, now all downloaded via the net

this is really really really early days -------what's clear??

1. what's clear is that fossil is a goner -----------
2. what's also clear is that plug in EV's are a definite - for at least a while

my guess is that we'll probably stick with EV's in cars/bikes etc - we might not own them, they might not have Lithium for a battery, they - one day will NOT be plug in - they will be 'park on'

but, EV?? -- I suggest that they will be here for quite a while ----------- trucks too -------------- up to how big and what section of the industry???????

"How a positive energy balance is to be achieved with the compact version propagated by Lockheed Martin is not even remotely mentioned in the patent applications." ........ https://fusion4freedom.com/are-mini-fusion-power-plants-possible/

I agree that fusion is the most exciting energy project in the world today. Yet there remains enormous problems to be solved.

but like covid research, miracles may happen too with fusion.

far, far better than fission.
