   ITER’s timeline for fusion stretched out even further

   Full fusion power won't happen until nearly 2040 on new timeline.

     It's not getting ANY funding. As soon as some spoiled tech heir throws $100b at it, it will be solved overnight.
     I'd love to see Fusion work, but I think it will be irrelevant to power needs very soon. It's more I think going to be useful for future very high power load projects we haven't thought of, but will undoubtedly.

     @arstechnica It's a flawed design/concept IMHO. If someone can make fusion a viable energy source, it will be Helion.
