A Chinese company has achieved a significant milestone in nuclear fusion by completing the engineering feasibility verification of high-temperature superconducting for its Tokamak device.
Fusion will generate power for the whole world, and it will be the end of basically all coal power plants. This will benefit EVERYONE.
Fossil fuels won’t go away from one day to another tho. It will take forever for all countries to transition to basically infinite electrical power, and we don’t have enough EV’s on the road just yet to replace oil. Then there’s planes, ships and trucks we need to look at.
So who cares who develops it. China at least will provide it for the people, while the US will stall it to sell more oil.

RussiaUSA is a gas station with nukes.where is France, i wonder, compared to these two giants, as a country that’s mostly nuclear for the last ±70 years 🤔

@davel @merde Europe has got several fusion test plants: euro-fusion.org/
Who cares who develops it first.
