the last update on fusion is that some people, the individuals and university are eludeing me at the moment, have actually produced a sustanaible fusion reactor, meaning that the reactor is capable of generating more electricty than it needs to operate. if people wouldnt be so paranoid about nuclear power we would never be in the energy situation we are in today. in fact we could probabbly tell those arabs to give ther oil to allah. but after three mile island and chernobyl, people were scared to death of nuclear power. in fact i was one of those individuals untill i learned about how nuclear power actually works, as i grew up during the cold war in a typical american houshold that was afraid of commies and nukes. i actually had the pleasure to job shadow a nuclear engineer at three mile island on dec 31 1999, which is the Y2K deal where all the nuclear power plants were suppose to explode...and the world was suppose to end and all that stuff, i even got to shake hands with the head of the NRC at the time. but as i get back on topic the reason why nuclear energy is not the main source of power today is that it is entirely political. like all things it takes a lot of money to pay grad students like me to figure that stuff out(45k a year to be exact) and as long as people do not support (afraid of) nuclear energy then there is no politician in the country going to give money to universities to develop it. one of the things holding up progress in fusion now is that it costs more to produce the energy than you can sell it for. the reason for this is that there is a special hydrogen isotope (fuel) that is not that prevailent on earth and is quite costly. one of the proposed solutions to this is mining the moon, as it has an abundance of that special hydrogen isotope. so look for moon colonization and mining in the next 20 years. if i remember correctly that article was in popular mechaics, although im not 100% sure.
