I like how over 60 years after the nuclear boom, it somehow just happened to happen today. Just when the world is ready to transition to electric vehicles on a global scale, just when oil companies aren't able to make as much money from oil as they used to, just when one of the major suppliers of fossil fuels (Russia) is at war with the West, it has somehow magically happened.
What a coinky-dink.
Throw lots of money at something when you need it to happen and then it will happen. Or have control over the technology and don't let it see the light of day until it benefits you financially and makes your enemies lose their main stream of income. I truly applaud this timing and will err on the side of conspiracy rather than coincidence reading more about this "breakthrough".

It would be coincidental timing, if the most breathless headlines were actually true. But in reality we're still decades away from commercially viable fusion power generation. A fusion energy gain factor of Q=1 is little more than a psychological hurdle. Imagine you have a process that consumes 1 gigawatt of power and produces 1 gigawatt + one additional watt of power; that's Q=1. And it's certainly not commercially viable.
Lyndon Larouche came to my high school (in New Hampshire) for the presidential primaries in 1988 and talked about antimatter as an energy source.
Years later I saw a picture of an Iranian woman holding a sign that said "Nuclear Power is a Human Right" and thought... She much be a LaRouchite.
I wound up voting for Diane Sare, another LaRouchite, for US Senate in New York this year even though I know they're a coercive organization like the Scientologists or the Longtermists and I disagreed with her position on Ukraine -- we had a really sad ballot this year since they made it much harder for 3rd party candidates to get one and she was the only one.
LaRouchites are the only people left who want to stamp out the Beatles but they are required to not only listen to only classical music but are only allowed to listen to Brahms and anything older. If I ran into a LaRouchite and wanted to make them squirm I would talk to them about Debussy.
