Why is fusion always “30 years away?”

1.75K 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?

If the last two years have shown anything, it’s that it doesn’t matter if the secret to viable fusion energy is discovered. The corporation that controls it will not sell energy at a discount to anyone.

They will charge whatever they can get away with, and they will have lobbyists that bribe politicians into voting the way they choose.
