Comment on Fusion is not 20 years in the future.It’s 50 years in the past–and we missed it

I can’t possibly believe that this would not already have been pounced on by both scientists and major governments if it were as promising as made out here, sorry.

Likewise. Also, it says there has been little progress, but there are numerous test reactors providing loads of data, ITER is being built, there's a lot of knowledge about how to do this now. It's still tremendously difficult and probably tremendously underfunded, but I'm not sure the claim that "many" have concluded it to be impossible is remotely founded.

But I do have a friend who works at the UK's fusion research centre, obviously she believes in what they're doing!
