Yeah, that's something I've been wondering about for a while. Sure you can get Fusion to create energy eventually, but the engineering to keep the reactor running long enough to break even on cash sounds even more difficult. Anything involving hot plasma and large amounts of ionizing radiation is going to play hell with your equipment. That's not even considering the secondary nuclear waste created by the neutron, proton, and alpha radiation.
It just seems like a great way to turn a billion dollars into a pile of extremely hot, radioactive, radiation embrittled metal.
