“The production of electricity from nuclear fusion will most likely be expensive and complex”
“Fusion energy it will not be a factor in the fight against climate change “and” the race to save the climate with carbon-free energy will have been won or lost long before the first nuclear fusion power plant goes into operation. “ Beppe Grillo on his blog, advising “to the general public and to those whose decisions directly concern energy policy” the essay by physicist LJ Reinders, entitled ” The Fairy Tale od Nuclear Fusion” (The fable of nuclear fusion). “The production of electricity from nuclear fusion will most likely be so expensive and so complex – writes Reinders in a passage of the essay reported by the guarantor M5S on his blog – that it will never become economically sustainable”.
“It will not be a commercially competitive energy source and certainly not even clean. If ever such a horrifyingly complex beast is ever reliably operated, the cost of a single fusion nuclear power plant will simply be enormous. It will certainly come too late to help fight the climate change, as will be made clear in this book. There is no possibility that it will contribute to the energy mix in this century, let alone before or around 2050, as required by the Paris Climate Agreement. “
For Grillo, the book by Reinders “presents facts and arguments that demonstrate how nuclear fusion energy will not be technically feasible in time to meet the urgent global need for climate-neutral energy. The author describes the 70-year history of nuclear fusion; the unsuccessful attempts to build a nuclear fusion reactor that generates energy, and shows that even in the most optimistic scenario nuclear fusion, despite the claims of its supporters, will not be able to make a significant contribution to the energy mix of this century, whatever is the result of Iter “, remarks the co-founder of the Movement.
