  I’m no scientist, but i’m pretty sure there’s a giant fusion reactor in the sky. I think it’s called The Sun or something like that.

    This annoyingly bright object in the sky is a giant fusion reaction, but not a fusion reactor

  A chart showing the required funding over time for possible paths to a reactor from a U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration document, published in 1976. A curve representing actual funding since then has been added; it is entirely below the one labeled “‘1978 level of effort’ (aka ‘fusion never’)”.

    There is no incentive to invest into Fusion technology, as it would make crude oil, coal, rare earths, other rate metals and minerals lose a lot of value. The graph you show is still very interesting and I never saw that before, so thank you for sharing.
