What's the optimal engineering solution for fusion energy.
To consign combustion to the past.
Why limit to fusion? Ask for the optimal energy production solution, period. Might be something we never thought of.
The answer might be impossible or impractical like a Dyson Sphere.
What's the most efficient design for an energy generation device that fits in an area smaller than 1 cubic mile, uses materials found on Earth or nearby planets/passing comets, and if it outputs particle, waves, or any combination thereof that destroy the atmosphere or DNA/life, contains the destroyers?
But if we're dealing with a demon or a genie or aliens, we won't like the answer. Fuckin' tricksters.
Gather solar energy over millions of years and accumulate it as a thick liquid. Then, to unlock the energy, simply burn that liquid. Or process it into other forms and burn that.
