If all that money the US is pouring into military went into fusion power research we would already have that technology all around the world, theres been countless proofs that the science behind it works and the progress that has been made so far is so extensive it would take you several life-times to go thru all of it, the problem is theres not enough investments into it, partly also because of the media that hype up every single progress misleading people how soon we'll have the technology, when in fact we do have it, it does work, but not to a point for it to be used within a grid yet,(reply>), If we were on the cusp of reaching fusion-viability, the necessary investments would have been there ten times over.<br>You cannot base energy policy on a solution that has been studied for decades, but never made feasible. <br>Solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, nuclear fission and maybe biomass are therefore the only options for the coming decades.
