>>12191025ITER has began reactor assembling and in `35 we might see the first energy net gain by a fusionreactor which would open the possiblity of DEMOS to produce fusion in the 40s. And before you go "in 30 years", remember that the first electric motors were built in 1740s but only became practical for work in the 1840s.
The first photovoltaics were developed back in 1839, but only thanks to space money in the 60s they became viable technology to get energy.
The idea of Fusion Reactors was developped in 1946, in the 90s we made the first viable fusion reactions. We are expecting net-gain fusion reactions by the 30s, the timescale is nothing to sneer at.
