Fusion power is like the glorious world of next Tuesday. It’s always just a few years away. Then again detecting gravity waves was a pipe dream for almost a century, until they finally did it. (Or did they? You always have to ask when billions of dollars are being paid!)
Good point.
I clearly remember the absence of excitement or passion when the confirmation of the Higgs Boson was announced to an audience of physicists at CERN.
To this day, I wonder if they really found it.
