If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.

      Because the Sun is a giant fusion reactor.

          That’s the setup for the joke

          Only maybe! DEC works similarly to how we collect energy in photovoltaics, and seems to be pretty promising

      My the actual intention of this joke, was to point out, that even if fusion will make again use of boiling water, we already have more “suffisticated” methods to generate electricity (like e.g. solar cells via the photovoltaic effect), that make not use of the great equalizer make wheel spin fast.

      But based on many comments here (and yours is not one of them), this failed.
