Like irreversible global warming, Nuclear fusion is always only 20 years away...

Nothing would end the “climate” lunacy and its attendant problems (e.g., Russia itching for WW III) than successful fusion. But it’s always 20 years away.
The solution is simple, however. Make the vessel walls out of unobtanium.

The petrochemical companies will impede any progress on this type of research/development.
But then, I'm just an uber-cynic. What will fascinate me is if/when this becomes reality...what will be the Watermelons excuse for protesting it?

"Fusing particles together Nuclear fusion is the merging of two atomic nuclei into one compound nucleus. This nucleus then breaks apart and releases energy in the form of new atoms and particles that speed away from the reaction. A fusion power plant would capture the escaping particles and use their energy to generate electricity."This has got to be the stupidest explanation of fusion that I've ever seen

Energy breakeven, meh. They need to demonstrate at least 10x output versus input before it’s even worthwhile to initiate a pilot plant demo. I figure they are still 20+ years away from operational fusion power plants. I remember sitting in my senior year nuclear engineering class in 1974. The professor stated that we shouldn’t expect to be working on fusion power plants until 2000 at the earliest and that was assuming that breakeven was achieved that year. I wouldn’t bet on seeing fusion power plants until the 2040’s at the earliest.

Again, fusion has been 20 years in the future for at least the last 50 years.

“The production of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus – or JET”
Sounds great until you get to this:
“...JET, which required roughly three times more energy to heat the fuel than it produced for its recent 59 megajoule record”
I can take 3 joules of energy and give you 1 joule back without building a fancy fusion reactor. No problemo. Just give me some grant money :)

Well, now the acknowledge the “just 20 years away” situation.
Now it is, “It can be done if we just had more moeny, we are so close.”

A HUGE jobs program. The ITAR group is always complaining the USA needs to give them hundreds of billions to finish the boon doggle. But they sure are employing a lot of eggheads and construction workers.
