Despite the relentlessly optimistic tone of these announcements and the repeated claims that the prospects for commercialization have never looked brighter, the stark reality is that practical fusion-based electric power remains a distant prospect. It is likely unachievable anytime in the next half a century.Even then, it may still remain beyond our grasp.The most readily accessible nuclear fusion...…Popular topicsLatest ContributorsLatest IssuesIn response to “”, a steady flow of press releases from nuclear fusion research projects has hailed breakthrough advances and new record yields.
