I’ve heard and read about all these initiatives that you and few others mentioned in your replies. However, (as per original question) I’m surprised we’re not investing much more resources into these. Again, super naive me - we put a lot of money and resources into finding the vaccine for covid and it quickly paid out, I think if we did the same for fusion energy we would also see big leaps in smaller period of time.

Or is fusion energy really not just a matter of how much cash we throw at the problem? I don’t buy that.

A 10-year plan was presented at the beginning of the month to the federal Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee.
