EXCELLENT ARTICLE, INDEED

however, the main problem of (earth or lunar fueled) fusion is that it
(simply) doesn't work

we need more energy NOW and we have just three alternatives:

COMMERCIAL FUSION REACTORS:
- don't exist and will not exist for several decades (or could never
exist if its problems can't be solved)
- very expensive infrastructures
- mid/long time to build each power plant
- mid/low price (earth) "fuel" (or high price lunar He3)

OIL, METHANE, COAL, NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS:
- they exist now
- mid/high priced infrastructures
- mid/long time to build each power plant
- high/growing priced "fuels"

RENEVABLE SOURCES:
- they exist now and the energy already is price-competitive
- mid/low priced infrastructures
- mid/low time to build each power plant
- VERY LOW or ZERO priced "fuels" (sun, wind, waves, heat)
- ZERO chemical pollution and ZERO nuclear waste

of course, all renevable energies will play a role in future, but wind
energy is the fastest way to have more energy NOW

if a country needs an extra GW of installed power, they must only buy
200 wind turbines and put them on an unused land

then, within a few months, the extra-GW will be ready to be connected
to the electric net
