What's the deal with fusion right now?
Has it progressed?
Are we closer to breaking even?
Will it ever be viable?

Never been better. Read up on Tokamak Energy, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and Zap Energy. A lot of really exciting shit is going down.

They're building a big test power plant called ITER.

> The heat produced in ITER will not be used to generate any electricity because after accounting for losses and the 300 MW minimum power input, the output will be equivalent to a zero (net) power reactor.
20 years to build it.
Fuck jobs programme science.

zero power would be amazing compared to the power deficit of current fusion reactors.

After ITER they plan on building an even better reactor that will hopefully produce a net gain.
