The problem is the kind of nuclear reaction used. Fission reactors are bad, but once we got fusion reactors, we'll have an almost perfect energy source: clean, reliable and cheap.
The project Iter (http://iter.org/ http://iter.org/) is building the first fusion reactor. It's a big challenge but I'm glade that this project exists at all.
- pfdietz 7y agoFusion is going to be more expensive than fission, if it works at all. The idea that it would be cheap has no rational basis. The power density of ITER that you reference there is 400x worse than a PWR. Fusion reactors will be monstrous expensive things.
