Note that Crimea is not counted as Ukrainian in this map. Makes you wonder.

Energy storage. We could already produce all the power we need and more using solar power, the problem is that we can't store it in an efficient energy dense form. The word efficient there is doing some heavy lifting. It needs be comparable or better than our methods today in terms of cost, safety, energy density, climate impact. If we could solve energy storage, it'd change society and technology dramatically.

Ah right. So, an alternative to dark energy and dark mass?

I've seen some fake fireplaces that use steam and lights to look like fire, you could use steam from waste heat from the fusion reactor?

Plasma for fusion is at insane temperature and pressure to make fusion possible, to overcome the repulsive force that keeps protons apart by sheer velocity of the colliding nuclei. So you wouldn't have that kind of plasma in a fireplace generally. But you can get room temperature plasma today without fusion, look up plasma balls... That could make a cool (but not fire-like) fireplace, if it could be engineered into another form factor

I expect that's due to the 30% cut taken on subscriptions purchased through the app store
