    And now we’re in an age of nuclear fusion. My kid or grandkids may live in a world powered by even cleaner reactors. Which is great because they will probably have to live entirely indoors.

      Eh, I feel like we’ve been in an age of nuclear fusion for decades, it’s always just around the corner…

      But maybe this latest set of breakthroughs will be it. I’ll believe it when I see a production scale plant.

        It has value in terms of research but I’ve seen no evidence that we’re even remotely close to hooking a fusion reactor up to a grid.
