5/5 🧵 So the verdict: muon-catalyzed fusion is scientifically real, but commercially stubborn. It’s attractive because fusion could mean less nasty long-lived waste than fission, and it may even help breed tritium or fissile fuels. But until someone cracks cheap muon production and better reaction efficiency, it stays in the “fascinating research” bucket, not the “plug it into the grid” bucket.
