even if sustained nuclear fusion via deuterium-tritium type reactions were possible, and the energy that is released exceeds the energy that is put in, and this energy is harnessed as a conventional water-steam generator, would such a design be commericially viable, based on the current cost of experimental fusion reactors? If this technology can be done for say 2 billion (the LHC was around 6 billion I understand) making use of superconducting magnets in a torus, would such an expensive technology ever pay itself off, in comparison to fossil fuel burning plants?
