      I believe the general principal is giving such a device “seed energy” to get it started, then just feeding the power it produces back into itself. The only time you’d ever need that solar farm is to get it started.

      You could also pump that energy into other fusion reactors to get “unlimited energy” so to speak.

          Why would we want to get rid of fusion reactors? We literally have zero, and are working toward them being viable for general use.

            I deleted the comment 3 seconds after it was posted, funny thing that you are still seeing it

                Maybe I should start building the habit of checking what I wrote before I post instead of after
