Abstract. Conventional drilling methods are very mature, but still have difficulty drilling through very deep,very hard and hot rocks for geothermal, nuclear waste entombment and oil and gas applications.This project demonstrated the capabilities of utilizing
only high energy beams to drill such rocks,commonly called ‘Direct Energy Drilling’, which has been the dream of industry since the ...</div>

<p>Wait, maybe it can become a strip-city modeled on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Line,_Saudi_Arabia">

<div>I know the answer to fission (sadly) is NIMBY. (yes but it's a lot cleaner and safer than oil and coal I say)

<div>I don't know why we haven't looked at other things as well</div>
<div>What I'm saying is fusion has been humans icarus wings with it being just arround the corner for decades. while matter/anti matter is (sort of) here. Fission is here. Want zero carbons? cool! so why not build out a ton of reactors we already can do. Or
am I missing something?<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span>My understanding is that D-T fusion occurs at a lower temperature than D-D but that once fusion commences (starting with D-T), both D-T and D-D reactions occurring in similar amounts. In laser-driven ICF (as with NIF) I believe

the D/T ratio would go down, making D-T reactions (yet) more likely... tricky business, no wonder it has taken decades to get to this point?</span><br>
