> ✗ Fusion power plants I disagree! Azimov didn't say that we will be using fusion power, he said that an "experimental fusion-power plant or two will already exist". Which is pretty much what ITER[1] is. So to me, this is one of the most accurate predictions. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER

It isn't really a power plant until they turn it on. And so far, the difference between a fusion reactor and a fusion power plant has been a significant one.

  To put it simply, he predicted that fusion energy will be at the experimental level. For a 50 year prediction this is very accurate. (As apposed to the glowing walls.)

  ITER won't have any power generation capability - you have to wait for DEMO for that.
