When I took plasma physics 25 years ago. The prof said, “Fusion power is 20 years away and always will be!”.
So far pretty prophetic!
Very interesting...
When I did a post-doc stint back in the 1960s, they were saying the very same thing...
It is comforting to be able to depend on the stable “truths” that derive from the bible, fusion research, particle physics, string theory, MOND, the former Constitution, and the promises of all forms of Marxism...
Never, never, never hold your breath!
