OT Fusion power breakthrough

A major step has been made in developing a nuclear fusion reactor. Fusion would generate much more power than existing nuclear fission power plants. And, it’s only byproduct would be hydrogen. There are still several more complicated steps needed to develop it but, if it ever is worked out, it could provide all our energy needs forever, which would be cool.

Yeah, we are no where close to fusion power. Still requires tritium (3H), and this has to be made a particle accelerator, so the input energy is orders of magnitude what comes out.

The notion that fusion power is the only safe alternative to fission is nonsense. It's certainly saf<em>er</em>, but not enough to eschew fission power until it's viable.
