Why is fusion always “30 years away?”

1.62K viewsOtherPhysics

It seems that for the last couple decades fusion is always 30 years away and by this point we’ve well passed the initial 30 and seemingly little progress has been made.

Is it just that it’s so difficult to make efficient?

Has the technology improved substantially and we just don’t hear about it often?

It’s untrue to say that little progress has been made.

A power positive firing of a fusion reactor has happened. That’s huge in that tech.
