ITER’s timeline for fusion stretched out even further

Full fusion power won't happen until nearly 2040 on new timeline.

The #Fusion energy #boondoggle has been stringing along taxpayers for over 60 years, and it looks like they’re planning at least a century-long con job.

Still not on par with the millennia-long con jobs of organized #religion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

fusion's always about 15 years away, so no surprises there. Any news on airships?

Shouldn't all these political issues and safety concerns have been addressed before the project was sited?

I remember when fusion power was only 25-ish years away... and now you can, too! 😄

Fusion power has been 20 years away since the 1950s. There is some optimism that with the advancement with SAI 2040 might be a realistic goal this time

Fusion is not getting ANY funding. As soon as some spoiled tech heir throws $100b at it, it will be solved overnight.
I'd love to see Fusion work, but it will be irrelevant to power needs very soon. It's more I think going to be useful for future very high power load projects we haven't yet thought of, but undoubtedly will.

hopefully #helion will have Polaris and then shortly the 8th gen online and producing power by then.

It's a flawed design/concept IMHO. If someone can make fusion a viable energy source, it will be Helion.
