    The sun is not sustainable. In a few billion years it will collapse on itself and implode, destroying our solar system (and beyond).

    Self-sustaining energy is, by definition (in our current understanding of thermodynamics in this universe), not possible.

    So the question becomes, like with the sun, HOW sustainable can we get? How long can it continue producing energy, with how much waste/exhaust, and how much cost?

    How sustainable can we get? Well I am aiming for a system to sustain itself for atleast 50 years..... I am working on one of Tesla's designs and He had a good concept it must just be perfected..... I would say if we could perfect his concept we could have a new source of modern power.... and our limit in todays world is "fossil fuel" as long as we use it mankind will not move forward

    My knowledge on this topic is extremely limited...I only know enough to know that it's foolish to claim to know too much. And that the Next Big Thing always looks like Magic to those who don't understand what makes it work. So even though my first reaction is to say that the mystique around Tesla is overhyped, and most of his ideas -- although admittedly surrealistic genius -- were non-functional and lacking in complex knowledge of practical applications (aka "Don't work").... ...I would be very quick to qualify that reaction by saying, I'll be the first in line to congratulate you for proving everyone wrong, should you actually make it work.

    Look, all this bullsh1t you see today was tested during Edison's time. That's why we use fuels and hydroelectric. Energy has to be 100% guaranteed above all other things. That means solar, wind, wave etc.. all unreliable.
