Will we have enough clean energy?
There’s lots of open land in the world. Is 100% clean, plentiful energy simply a matter of covering enough of it with solar panels? I know storage is an issue (for nights and cloudy days) but with nearly infinite clean energy, surely we can solve those as well - even inefficiently? Basically, should we be very optimistic about the future?

Quite a few people think that there has been a breakthrough in nuclear fusion at MIT. This is a video of Dennis Whyte, director MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4
Whyte's team founded a company, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which is actually building the stuff in that video: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/commonwealth-fusion-systems-r...
