- justin66 3y agoThanks. I'll have to brush up on the details of this report, it's been a while. I read recently that in total, the US has spent about $50 billion dollars on fusion energy generation research over the years. Regardless of the chart's usefulness, that puts us in the "fusion never" realm of the chart.
