That will be fission. There are no fully working fusion reactors anywhere in the solar system other than the sun. There won't be in the lifetime of either of us. There are a number of devices where short term fusion has been achieved but none that produce more energy than was put in to achieve that fusion.

Quote from: klondike on September 13, 2026, 10:45:11 AMI don't doubt that the climate is changing. I don't doubt that we'll need to make some big changes for our societies to continue to thrive in comfort. The problem is that the changes many of these greens want to make will leave us in a far more trouble than the changing climate even if ignored will cause us.

We are a technological society. We need energy for that to continue. Current renewables can't entirely replace fossil fuels and we will need to continue to exploit them for some time to come. Maybe until the end on the century. Just how long depends on how ingenious we are.

Fusion power has been twenty years away for at least the last fifty and probably still will be in another fifty. We need to improve renewables and storage of energy but our main saviour will be fission based nuclear power and the greens hate that idea. They'd rather we were eating sun dried cockroaches in our caves while dressed in leaves held in place with hand plaited vines.  Obviously only in areas where our nuts don't freeze off in winter. If they win out then that's exactly what we will be doing.

At the moment we need to have enough fossil fuel capacity to generate as much power as is generated by renewables for when the sun doesn't shine & the wind doesn't blow.

A man after my own heart.  Yes, I'd be thinking about Bonfire Night too.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 02:46:24 PMCultural, as you say, not a religious requirement.  And not our culture.

Absolutely, and if we may not hide our faces, they must not hide theirs.
For some strange reason, our so-called government seems to support them regardless of the law which they have tried to implement and seems only applicable to us, the white British.

The more I hear and see about this Labour government, the more I hope that Labour will never again be voted into government, and it seems that I am not alone in that.

Inspecting mirrors is the type of job I could see my self doing

Anglers of course suffer this. The fish in the water is always double the size of the one that comes out if you are fool enough to actually weigh it.

It is true actually..  AIWS can affect how we see things.. size and distance becomes distorted..
I think I suffer with it when I go out to buy a frock..😁



Yesterday at 03:29:04 PMI somehow knew that you would suffer from it.. 😂🍻

QuoteAnother show all the fans are kicking up about is Strictly.
I saw in today's paper that fans are saying it is the worst line up of presenters ever.
