Coal -> Hydro -> Oil -> Natural Gas -> Nuclear -> Wind -> Solar -> MICROWAVE -> Fusion.

It seems to me like we're skipping a very important part of technology. Because of the rich wealthy classes wanting to get the most out of their oil dollars they're sabotaging things like the electric car, and skipping straight to fusion energy even though we already have the technology to easily put satellites into orbit around the planet. This is most likely a stalling strategy by the power classes that are in control.

I don't know much about fusion power but from what I've read, even though we're making progress it's still a long way off. At the current time in our species tech tree it makes more sense to put satellites into orbit that will then beam the suns energy back to earth to a microwave power plant. It is both economically viable and the dividends will be huge on this technology's stocks. The big problem though is that the central bankers already know about this. They're choosing to skip this part of the technology tree because the sooner we have alternatives to oil, the sooner their oil dollars will plummet.

If there are any fusion goons here, I'd love to hear your take on fusion power plants. What, if anything, can we do about this??

I usually just use nuclear until fusion unlocks and by them I'm in arcologies anyhow.
