Well according to the 1993 classic, "SimCity 2000," fusion power becomes available to build in the year 2050. Since I have no other source that provides an exact date of viability, this remians the most reliable prediction we have.
curious, has SimCity predicted anything correctly up to now?
If my experience with the game was an accurate account, quite a few natural disasters.
Wasn't that the one with the godzilla natural disaster toggle? If so, i figure the next few years could have some fun surprises... if we're lucky.
The bell riots, September 2024. See yall there!
When did space solar unlock? The uk is building one now apparently
To be fair, they're trying to create a miniature star and keep it controlled/contained, to use its energy. That's some next-gen level stuff.
Stay in school kids. Study Physics & Engineering!
Gonna need a hell of a boiler/turbine to harness that kind of heat.
20 years.
always 20 years off :-)
Since at least the 90s
It was 30 years away in the 1950s and still is.
Controlled fusion is harder than we thought & may be harder than we think.
This is how we arrive at the "always 30 years away" trope.
