- DoughnutHole 4y agoViable in the sense that fission power was viable before the Manhattan project - theoretically possible, but still an awful lot of experimental physics work left to do, not just engineering. Fusion has been theoretically viable for decades, but we've never produced a sustainable fusion reaction that produces more energy than we put into it. We know it's possible because we can see the sun. But we haven't proved that any of our theoretical reactor designs can actually work.
