Prof Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith Director, UK Fusion Programme
"Between 15 and 20 years from now, we will be ready to start building a fusion power station that will produce electricity [from nuclear fusion, rather than fission, the reaction that drives existing nuclear power stations]. After that, before the middle of the century, we hope to have large-scale fusion power."
It seems to be that fusion power is ALWAYS only 20 years away. Perhaps some kind of temporal loop keeps it that way:-)
