Helion Energy has started construction on a plant that will use a fusion reactor to supply Microsoft with electricity by 2028.
Only problem is nobody knows how to reliably sustain a fusion reaction that creates more energy than it consumes. Which, I assume is a very minor detail to be ironed out over the next 3 years.
This makes me think of a certain type of salesperson I've encountered a few times that is a nightmare for an organization. This person doesn't sell the core capabilities. They promise the customer all their wildest dreams will come true. Then come back and dump it in the lap of the engineers who say "we can't do this". And the salesperson says, "well, I told the customer it'd be ready in 90 days and we already took a deposit".

@the_etrain Certain type of? I thought there were only those and those others that shake their heads about that but do the same. Maybe i'm just too young and haven't experienced the art form of communication between sales and development/engineering yet?

There are good salespeople out there. But they are the exception.
@the_etrain Riddle me this: what is more rare, a sales person communicating well with the implementation people, or a sales person that does not drink heavily given the opportunity to do so for free?
