Current energy crisis forces people to cut forests and turn them into "green fuel" pellets and ethanol. This induces drought and desertification. I propose building thermonuclear reactor which is simpler in design than current tokamaks and inertial confinement reactors. Let's fund it with crypto and fiat. If it works, it will return 8 million kWh per invested bitcoin.
Not sure if serious. A man wants 300-500 bitcoin to build a "thermonuclear reactor" in his garage.
