The joke I know about how fusion tech is so complex and promises of "we're almost there!" are so common is success is always only about 30 years away.
Might not solve the climate crisis (unless they are on an imminent breakthrough) but it does solve problems humans have had for thousands of years, research on it is very worth it
I'm entirely in favor of research. I expect breakthroughs over the years. Cost effective fusion would be beyond fantastic. But I don't think it will happen in this century. I can't say more than that because I'm a Joe Schmoe. All I can do is read articles and hope information and opinions I read are close to reality. I'm not a mathematician or physicist.
