Comment on End nuclear fusion!
roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 months agoYou don’t have to pump it anywhere. Capturing helium is actually the hard part. It’s very adept at sneaking through small cracks and flying off into space. Earth’s gravity cannot contain it and pretty much all of it comes from primordial uranium decaying and getting caught in geological features by chance.

Yep that’s all true, but they’ll pump it into the ground anyways because “venting nuclear fusion byproducts into the atmosphere” is going to go down really poorly with the “I hate and fear the things I don’t understand” crowd.
