To be fair, we’ve been within 50 years from cracking fusion for the last 50 years. I think they’re close though

As far as I understand it on paper everything works out. If it didn't I would think that would have been discovered so it should be just a matter of time and money and this year has been a boom for fusion investment by industry standards.

The new generation of toroids are currently under construction. There's a good YouTube video about it, they come together piece by piece. They have made net positive, but it's not remotely cost effective.

It’s not that revolutionary. Fusion would just be another type of power plant that costs billions of dollars. Same as exactly what we have right now

Everything I have read indicates that Fusion (if achieved) would be much more productive in terms of hor much energy is yielded and would leave near none radioactive by-products. If true, I think that is huge
