    Fusion is coming, who cares about He3?

    SK had a 45 sec reaction, we might actually be less than 20 years away from net positive energy.

    Well, it would be except it isnt a money making energy source so TPTB will only fund space miners instead.

      ITER will not be having the first full fusion before 2040. And that’s just a prototype for science, it will not be a fusion power plant for generating energy for the public grid. So: fusion is still not very near.

        I wish this canard that fusion is right around the corner would die, we’re nowhere near. Where are people like OP getting their information from?
