The only way we are ever going to get out of it is by acting
together each to do what we can.

Only way we are ever going to get out of it is if we put the goal
of Nuclear fusion on the same resource and priority footing
as the Manhattan project

I hope not we have already spent more than the Manhattan project
and I don't want to see fusion research stopped.


Nonsense, Manhattan between 1942 and 1945 took over 130,000 people,
70,000,000 pounds of silver from the U.S. Treasury reserves was used
for coils, and god know how many other resources

Projects at over thirty US sites, cash cost was only around $2B, but
in real terms
probably around 10% of the US's war time production capability.

If we put 10% of the industrialised worlds resources into fusion,
it would either be proved or disproved very quickly

What do you mean 'proved or disproved'? It exists. It just is.

What we have to do is develop it into a workable system for energy
production here on earth. And that's a bottomless pit. It has no end.

At the moment, actually, it sadly doesn't have a beginning either.
