    Fusion will likely happen in this century. Fission is a great temporary power source to get us there alongside renewables.

      The best way I have heard it described is that Fusion is going to happen next year but probably not in the next 12 months.

      We think Fusion must be coming soon because we understand all of the fundamental principles around how it works, so what we need to do is put those principles into practice. For some reason though that doesn’t quite work what we end up with is a machine that makes a lot of noise but doesn’t really achieve anything
