I was reading somewhere that the earliest point for commercial viability will be in the 2060s. By which point we can assume there have been build a lot of renewable energy infrastructure (or else the climate crisis is still in full effect; and I can’t really think about what kind of society will have evolved from that disaster). This should bring down the cost of renewables even more then today as economics of scales grow exponentially. Making the quest for comersial viability of fusion even tougher.
I honestly wonder if fusion will ever be commercially viable. And if all these experiments will simply lead up to us realizing that: “cool, so fusion power is possible on Earth. Now what should we do with it?”
But hey. Maybe it will be the energy of the future on Antarctica or the Moon or something instead.
