Fusion power has been a decade away since the 60s.

Excellent - clean fusion power is just fifteen years away. Back when I was young, they said it would take a decade and a half.

I feel like I have been reading this same article for the last fifty years...
Just another $10 billion and one more decade, and we will have a fusion device that actually produces more energy than it consumes!

Fusion power has been a decade away since the 60s.
As I recall, it was always 20 years away....
This is much closer.
A real energy game changer, if it can be developed.

Not sure I understand how fused H-BO atoms will produce electricity directly that can be captured. Unless what they are saying is that the fusion produces electrons....but then the higher energy values don’t make sense.
So how is the ‘direct electricity’ being captured? Induced from a generated mag field?
