Fusion reactors use hydrogen as fuel to make helium plus energy. It is
almost impossible to "make" hydrogen, although you can liberate it from a
compound (i.e. electrolysis of water).

I think that we need to develop fusion reactors so that we can cheaply
make hydrogen...

Exactly... Inefficient, but with since it only needs water as a fuel
and we have *plenty* of that, a bit of inefficiency might be
acceptable...

You have just pointed out the level of overall ignorance that pervades
this country these days. That's part of the reason why we are in the
situation we are in in the first place.... ignorant people elect ignorant
politicians.

Oh?

Won't you be so kind as to explain why you feel your statement is true, and
how it is, that gives you a reason to call a person ignorant?

Look up the definition of "ignorant" and determine for yourself
whether or not the word applies to many of the posts in this thread.

Back up, there!

So you are referring to the entire content of the thread, not just to Jim's
addition to the thread?

So that is why you wrote, "You have just pointed out the level of overall
ignorance that pervades
this country these days." ? My emphasis, here; you wrote, "You".


Does that not point to one person's contribution, instead of the "many of
the posts in this thread." ?

I am familiar with the mean(s) of the word ignorant. I'm trying to pin down
what, exactly, is the "ignorant" part of the post you are referencing.

Is it a word, or a group of words? Is it, "Fusion reactors use hydrogen as
fuel" ?

Is it, "to make helium plus energy." ?

Is it, "It is almost impossible to "make" hydrogen" , or perhaps, "although
you can liberate it (hydrogen) from a
compound (i.e. electrolysis of water)." ?


Is it just one word, out of all of them, that threw you over the edge?

Help me out here. I'm trying to understand.
