My favorite fusion reactor project is ITER. They have the ambitious goal of producing more power than the reactor consumes, and to run for many minutes instead of seconds like current reactors. And it's still 30 years away from completion!
I don't mind spending billions on long-shot research like this, because a commercially viable fusion reactor (which ITER itself has no ambition to be) would provide a sustainable, bountiful source of energy, and pretty much immediately resolve any questions about where our grandchildren will get their energy from. |
