Why is fusion always “30 years away?”

1.76K 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?

first one will come on line in a couple of years. It will power Microsoft. Helion Fusion. The 30 year thing is for government funded research facilities who will likely never produce a kilowatt of electricity. Primarily because they fuse tritium and it is extremely rare.
