Since I first learned about fusion as an Energy source (1970) it was/always has been “about thirty years away” from being the panacea for our energy woes.
This is the “philosopher’s stone” of our age.

Fusion power is the energy source of the future, always has been, always will be.

In the past, fusion did not produce more energy than it consumed. That's the big difference. One scientist compared it to the Wright Brothers in terms of the output of fusion reactors we now have, there are still significant barriers for it to be a practical alternative to produce electricity.
