The only time you’d ever need that solar farm is to get it started. You could also pump that energy into other fusion reactors to get “unlimited energy” so to speak. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why would we want to get rid of fusion reactors?
