Fusion is a very tough nut to crack. I expected much more progress. If fusion is ever harnessed, there will be a dramatic change throughout the developed world. There will hardly be need for any other power source except in areas not reachable by power lines.
I am afraid the wait will still be considerable for fusion. It is always 20 years away. Most likely far longer than I have.
Meanwhile the DR will burn oil and coal to "fuel" those E-Cars while tilting at windmills and touting solar farms.
How about hydrogen ?
Certainly agree about fusion but when its here it will change the world with virtually free energy.
Will be interesting to see the changes.
Should be remarkable.
Nearly daily there is progress in fusion.
I am hoping its here sooner rather than later.
Tremendous amount of effort world wide into fusion research.
Next big thing in immediate future will be the Webb telescope coming online.
Ultra cool to look back in time a billion years.
IF It Works it will make Hubble look like a kids toy.
What a fantastic time to be living.
When I was a kid I dreamed of living in the past at certain times in history.
Then I found out people died very very young and unpleasantly.
In the US in 1900 avg. age at death was 46.
Killed my interest in living in the past.
