WE DID NUCLEAR FUSION

Please read this script that i wrote a year ago

As far as memes go fusion is always 20 years away, So the problem which fusion is trying to solve might not even exist by the time it solves it... yeah yeah we'll get to the part were fusion of helium 3 changes the entire world but for now lets see what nuclear fusion has to offer. nuclear fusion is not a far fetched idea in fact its really simple just bring 2 atoms together and 'wolla' free energy weeeellll kind of. So its not hard to fuse atoms, you can in fact, do it in your home, but its hard to do it in a way which produces net energy. In other words its hard to make it self sufficient. Now lets say we overcome this problem & we achieve self sufficiency will we get free energy for the rest of our lives... aaaah that would be a big no, 
because achieving self sustaining fusion is just one part of the problem a small part.. the other bigger part is something much simpler ECONOMICS. fusion needs alot of resources i mean A LOT OF RESOURCES the biggest fusion powerplant to date, the ITER is set to produce 500mw of power(let's assume this to be net power or extract able power) but this isn't the kind of power which you would be able to use to charge your phone while watching funny cat videos, for that you have to convert the thermal energy to electrical energy & any kind of energy convertion would lead to loss of power but since fusion reactors are very well designed to give stable & reliable out put ,, we can design a generator that could work at its maximum efficiency all the time like the most efficient thermal power plants which work at 60-70% efficiency.. so lets say we get a net output of around 350 mW of usable power. now the fusion reactor its self requires some power to function but i wasn't able to get a clear answers. some web sites stated a total consumption of 50mW, while some estimates go upto 620mW of peaks in power consumption... YEAH not so promising! .. But we humans like to be optimistic Soo lets be optimistic.. lets assume that we produce 350mW of usable power at the end ,, NICE ,, so at what cost are we able to produce this energy , This entire project is estimated to cost around 65 billion dollars before 2025 but the reactor itself is set to start its deuterium tritium fusion by 2035... so who knows how much more it would cost, No like literally if you know about this or you know someone who can find a source which could figure out the actual cost of this project, then please let me know , but for simplicity sake lets just assume the cost of the fusion power to be 70 billion dollars, Even a kid knows thats not gonna be feasible , but this is just an experiment and large scale production can certainly help . But even if large scale manufacturing of an optimised version of this reactor could bring the cost down by a 100x before 2045 ,, still it would cost 700 million dollars thats way more expensive when compared to the solar technology we have TODAY (100mW solar installation costs can be as low as 30 million dollars and a 75mW battery costing another 15mills so we can have a 25mW solar base load power plant for 45million thats 630 million for 350mW of solar). worst case scenario we have already defeated fusion for the next 30 years... So basically we are building an energy source which when completed (maybe after 20 years) might match the cost of the technology we have today

& the fun part is ,, thats not the only problem

... fusion requires deuterium and tritium, yeah tritium is one of the most unobtainable elements , global production is around 7 kilograms per year and the iter alone is required to use 300g per day , YEAH but here comes the exciting part , nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium releases a fast moving neutron which can then be absorbed by a blanket of lithium around the reactor and then allowed to decay into tritium so the reactor itself becomes a tritium producing machine. But in order to produce enough tritium the lithium blanket has to capture almost all the moving nutrons and that's simply not possible because ONE nutrons are charge less hence they cannot be controlled & 2 some of the nutrons slam into the reactor walls even before making it to the lithium blanket & makes a huge mess, So at the end only around 10% of the nutrons are utilised , 

 is there any othere element that could replace tritium (as it seems to be a pain in the a**) the answers is yes there is, but it happens to be even more rarer than tritium, its an isotope of helium - helium 3 , its rare over here but its abundant on the moon, & there happens to be an almost limit less supply for helium 3, & not just that , it solves the problem of nutron as fusing dutrium with helium 3 gives a stable helium and a proton, So no lithium blanket, no need of creating a radio active material & protons have a charge so they can be pretty easily controlled...  hahaha you fell for that didn't you if getting helium 3 from moon for fusion is like getting a slightly better quality of bread from France while living in Australia , if fusion of helium 3 is possible then it is just better to try for the fusion of lithium and hydrogen with like 15% extra effort you can simply neglect s trip to the moon 😂 

but still the problem remains as it is ECONOMICS 

by the time we do all of this , renewable energy & battery storage technologies would have already solved all the problems we have. 
so it seems point less to hope that fusion will solve our energy problems 
and even More point less to invest our time and resources in fusion

so in conclusion fusion is nothing but a large science experiment (for now)
