Apr 20, 2016 #2 Drakkith Staff Emeritus Science Advisor 20,746 4,456 Still a thing, yes. Also still a pipe dream since we can't even get d-t fusion to work yet.
Apr 20, 2016 #3 houlahound 906 223 Do you think fusion power research will be abandoned ever as people will just give up?
Apr 20, 2016 #4 Drakkith Staff Emeritus Science Advisor 20,746 4,456 Not at all. We are spending billions on ITER after all.
Apr 20, 2016 #5 Khashishi Science Advisor 2,815 493 However, ITER will be a big turning point. If it is successful, then fusion funding might see an upsurge. If not, well, people aren't necessarily going to give up, but I don't expect governments to be very supportive in their funding.
