>In recent years, technological development of nuclear fusion power generation, also known as the "energy of dreams," has been accelerating both domestically and internationally.>In Japan, the industry is excited by the arrival of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who has been promoting the development. The government has set an ambitious goal of "demonstrating power generation in the 2030s."mainichi.jp/articles/20251114/k00/00m/020/299000c

>>16870626No they won't.
It's like elon promising colonies on mars.She knows that in 5 years she won't be in the office and has no realistic plans for the energy sector. So she just bullshits her way through.
>>16870626nuclear fusion power has been 10 years away, every year, for the last 50 years. even if you get it to work in a lab, its another 10-20 years before you make a power plant that hooks up to the grid. every claim that you see a talking head make on the internet about it is bullshit to bait investorst. finishing phd in plasma physics and go to conferences with this community of coping fucking losers multiple times a year
>>16870711She might not be there in 5 years (chances are she will be there still) but her job is also to make sure her party, LDP, remains in power. And outside the US, people tend to remember promises made.
>>16870727Man don't make me lose hope :-(We haven't had an interesting technological department since the smartphone I would say.
>>16870821the academics and national labs doing the research are mostly just daycare for highly individualistic narcissists and sociopaths that are massively absolutely neurotic levels of insecure and just doing physics to satisfy their egos (and failing at it). its really sadthe private fusion startup companies are slurpin off that good good billionaire venture capitalist teet while the gettins good my money rn is on Commonwealth Fusion
>>16870807The only thing the LDP needs to do to remain in power is take a hardline stance against immigrants. None of their other promises matter.
