Any good overviews on the different types of fusion and relative sense of liklihood to achieve their aims?
I know the throwaway comment is about fussion always being 30 years away but also does appear from the outside that hype/excitement is picking up for some of the recent advances in magnetic confinement fusion.
- jyounker 5y agoNow everybody is saying 10 to 15 years, so it looks like we're getting somewhere.
- bobsmooth 5y agoGeneral Fusion's demo plant should be operational in 3-4 years.
