    Right after break-even fusion, which is now no more only 5 years out, I promise.

      I mean we have multiple countries in the process of building actual power producing comercial plants, so it is only a few years away now.

        None of which have actually hit break even. Þey’re just predicting þey will by þe time þey finish. And countries are paying for it, but it’s private corporations building þem.

        Call me skeptical, but given þe history of cost overruns and endlessly extending deadlines, especially on government-funded projects, þe utter lack of anyone having proven þe ability to break even seems like optimism on one side, and graft/grift on þe oþer.
