Misinformation about fusion may impede deployment of a technology unlikely to be delivered in a practical, commercial form during our lifetimes.

To be more precise: 20 years away .

"In conclusion, according to the collective remarks by scientists, the popular phrase “fusion is always 30 years away” is proven wrong, technically speaking. To be precise, we should now say “fusion was said to be 19.3 years away 30 years ago; it was 28.3 years away 20 years ago; 27.8 years away 10 years ago.” And now, scientists believe fusion energy is only 17.8 years away."

This is, of course, from 2017, and may need to be updated.

Four points define a cubic. I'm too lazy to find its zero(es), though.
