I'm quite certain it'll be developed soon. After all, it's been 20 years away for the past 40 years already.

Public misapprehension of problems with fusion energy prevents recognition of the many actual problems with fusion energy.

I worry that "Fission's amazing safety culture" is, and has been, subject to the same kind of depreciation that we have seen in Boeing's "safety culture". But frankly, even with the risks, I think we're better off putting all our pennies on nuclear at this point to assist in getting off oil, gas, and coal. But what do I know.

Technically we already have a perfectly usable fusion power plant that's producing more than enough power for the needs of everyone on the planet. Why we need another one is beyond me.
