But when we read the article, we read the following perspective “If they can sustain that rate [of investment], then I think we are on track to seeing demos by mid-2030s, and hopefully engineering reactors by early 2040s (reactors tend to take 10 years to build after they are engineered),” Fedosejevs said. Emdee takes a more cautious view. “I would say optimistic estimates of fusion providing power to the grid are maybe the 2040s,” he said. “But the more conservative estimates, that I personally believe are more realistic, are the 2060s or 2070s.” That sure takes some patient investing – no?

Jeez Amazon's really covering all the bases... Right?
All your base are belong to us
Amazon...oh no, it's not a bent penis, it's a "smile"
Future will probably look like.
Heavy Industry and Energy Intensive Operations are probably fueled by some variation of Nuclear Power.
Average Domestic and Commercial/Retail. Will probably be able to use Tesla/Free Energy stuff. Or some rough equivalent to those concepts.
Thorium based nuclear reactors are very exciting.
Doesn't use uranium.
Can't be weaponized and turned into bombs.
Safe from meltdowns.
Nuclear "waste" material is inert in about 100 years.
Thorium is wildly available.

I'm almost positive this technology already existents and is already in use.
I've been following a few companies that mine thorium for "next generation fuel" And they've been doing very very well for quite some time.
I think They have some government contracts.
I’m just glad they’re finally getting into nuclear. Think of how much better off we’ll be, without being so dependent on oil and fake ass renewables.

Not just Amazon, Microsoft is getting into the fun too.
