Decades of decades
Thanks Xray. My years don't add up to 63, but I'm somewhat steeped in the history of this. My impression is that fusion has perennially been 30 years away. So I'll take the new 10-to-20 years! And I'm going to go out on a limb and say it will be closer to 10. I'm impressed that entrepreneurs have entered the business. That's not to discount what the government-backed giants like ITER and NIF are doing - I do think they'll deliver useful findings. But they have the luxury (until budget cuts) of trundling along. Startup companies do not. That's why I see the time frame now shortening. Provided the startups find adequate funding - not all will.
