I've just watched the BBC Horizon programme on nuclear fusion and it fascinated - and *annoyed - me. I kind of knew about it before, but the show seems to believe it is right around the corner - science 'proven' to work by 2011-2013 and actual power stations by 2030-2040, which may be a bit optimistic
But do you think we will eventually get commercial nuclear fusion power stations?
If so, which do you think is the more likely version; a Z-Machine type, or plasma JET/ITER design?
*the fact that Britain spends more money on ringtones than it does on fusion research really annoyed me![]()
