They have come pretty close, actually. The ITER installation is supposed to produce above break-even.It isn't going to take that long.Even if true, fusion power will be perfected long before that. It may be perfected in the next 10 years. They are making great strides.No my friend, in your grandchildren's time.

More likely the next 100 years.
Sure. What's the closest they've come to break-even?
How many billions did they spend?
Breaking even with fusion does still not mean it is practical.
It is still expensive, difficult, and still has radiation hazards.
They have been promising us we are almost there, every year, for over 50 years now.
And yet it seems as distant as ever.
One possibility is that they government does not want cheap and easy fusion because once revealed, could mean everyone could produce cheap fusion weapons?
