The outlook is not promising. More than 30 countries last week agreed to spend £7bn on an experimental fusion reactor in France which critics say will not produce any electricity for 50 years, if at all.
That amount of money would provide a lot of CSP power, a proven, working and simple technology that would work now, not in 2056.
Why not?
This should make it plainly obvious that technology alone will not save us. We have the technology, it's cost efficient, but we still reject it. What really needs to be explored is not alternate technology but it's impediments. One major impediment, it will continue to be argued, is an unresponsive and heavily entrenched corporate free-market with the consequence of standardized collective competition across arbitrary market boundaries like nation-states and currencies, for example. Although there are plenty of other reasons for exploring the order of our own species, such as universal liberation through social justice and equity, that's precisely why there is resistance from the dominant power-structure. The power-elite extract and preserve their power and wealth by monopolizing dominion over species order. This monopolization of species order is achieved by use of global state-enforced corporate market economy structured to come at the expense of liberty for the many and at the expense of fulfilling universal preferences for both life-giving and life-quality social constructs instead.
In short, self-centered greedy dumb asses are in control, and very few are forceful in challenging their control!
That's why not!
