Fusion Power Plant Simulator | Hacker News

Hacker News commenters argued that a fusion plant simulator should model not just power prices, but also financing costs and interest rates.

Some said fusion may take too long to commercialize to compete with cheaper renewables in the near term.

The discussion underscored that real-world plant economics and payback matter as much as technical feasibility.

Even with long-horizon projects like ITER and DEMO, renewables may remain the more practical climate solution for now.
