Being big isn't a virtue. Being big enough to do something useful is.

No it is right ;-)
But think about it for a moment, anyways Farnsworth fusor shows it is true.
 

Stars are a lot smaller that the universe, and they manage to fuse
nuclei on a very large scale. We would be here if they didn't.

 
That has nothing to do with it.

It has everything to do with it, but you are too dumb to see the connection.

As to that Farnsworth Fusor, they complain the grid gets too hot
Nice, why not use thermocouples as grid, convert voltage up,
get break even or better?

Thermocouples don't convert much of the heat energy available into heat.

I'd like to try, need a good lab and a good mechanical man, funding of course :-)

That is why there still is no break even small fusion home power box.

That's the explanation you like. There are others.

It is nice several projects are now looking for fusion, who knows?
Someone may hack it!

Perhaps they will.

 
Well, we have global warming in case humans fail.

It's anthropogenic global warming. If we stop digging up fossil carbon

Or we can dig deep enough into the ground for some heat.
But the question remains if you CAN make break even - get positive energy out

endless babble about Albert E...
 
But, my solar panels work great!

But they rely on that big fusion reactor hanging there in the middle of
the solar system. It's been there for about 4.5 billion years. Nobody
realised that it was nuclear fusion reactor until quite recently, and
the message still doesn't seem to have got through to you.

Oh well, and the sun will burn up eventually or so I'v read.
Not so much is known about the inner nuclear workings of the sun.
Is the fusion part caused by enormous pressures from the rest of the sun?
It does not have to be break even or positve at all.
I will not even mention Le Sage (oops) and possible other theories
dark matter, what not.

Would be nice if we could look ahead a few thousand years to see the theories then.
If humanity still exists, Dinos ?

We are just like ants, a few neurons wanting - looking for - a theory of everything.

And yet, everything is connected...
There is nothing you can know that is not known:
