You haven't been following what's going on at Lawerence Livermore here in the US or at Princeton not to mention what's going on at JET (Joint European Torus) in Oxfordshire, UK. JET is actually the furthest along at this time and has been creating more power than they use, but it's miniscule, mostly because they can't keep the confinement going long enough. But will it take 200 years, no way, 50 years maybe and that's being conservative (more likely we'll see it in the next 30 to 40 years).

Stumbled across this BBC article on a new fusion reactor project under construction in France.

In short: "Fusion - always 30 years away", "JET not producing more than it takes to run", "we'll know more in... 30 years!".

Might be of interest to some Smile.

take care
