Of course all of that fusion business depends on the physics behind it being correct, and that there are no surprises, since we as nuclear physicists “know everything, and its just a matter of filling in the details”, so said the scientific community in the mid-1950s.

Don’t hold your breath.

I would totally agree if today’s technology were no better than 1950’s technology.

But its not.

What’s more the technology is rapidly improving and the rate of improvement is increasing.

So you might even be right if the rate of improvement were constant. But again its not.

The rate of improvement is accelerating.

That’s what the physicist working on these things report.

so we wait. we’ll see. It will come sooner or later.
