I am not talking about tomorrow. I am talking about the potential of what you can do with the energy density.

[nradov]

Regardless of energy density, creating gold in a fusion reactor will still be more expensive than digging it out of the ground. We are far from exhausting that natural resource.

[ThomPete]

Again yes, but that's not the point. The point is you can't do that with any other energy source.

[HappySweeney]

Seeing as the only known way the universe makes the stable isotope of gold is through colliding neutron stars, I doubt you can do that with fusion either.

[ThomPete]

Well you can.
