Fusion billions, Chinese batteries, houses built for 50 years — how much do you trust green tech solutions?

This week's green tech news was dominated by fusion, the battery market and climate-adaptive architecture. Tell us how much you trust these solutions!

  1. Germany's Proxima Fusion is building a €140 million factory so it no longer has to import the superconducting tape used in fusion reactors from China and Japan. How realistic do you think it is that fusion energy will be commercially available at scale this decade?
  2. How much do you agree with the following statements?
  3. The US government is effectively banning Chinese-made batteries from grid-scale energy storage to strengthen domestic manufacturing. If a similar decision were made at home or in the EU, what do you think the most likely consequence would be?
  4. Which green technology do you consider most promising over the next 10 years? (choose up to 2)
  5. Google signed a four-year deal with an Indian startup to reduce methane emissions on rice paddies in exchange for carbon credits. How much do you trust corporate carbon-credit deals like this?
  6. Buildings today are sometimes designed 50 years ahead to adapt to climate change. How many years ahead do you think a new public building (school, hospital) in Hungary should be planned?
  7. Is it worth spending more on power grid modernization right now, instead of waiting for the technology to get cheaper?
  8. How old are you?
  9. Which county do you live in?
  10. How big is the settlement you live in?
  11. How would you describe your neighborhood?
  12. How many people live in your household (including yourself)?
  13. What citizenship do you hold?
  14. How long have you lived at your current residence?
