Re: - Nuclear fusion "is only 2 decades away", just as it has been the last 40-60 years.
Has recent advances in the last month not made you more optimistic?

I have a degree in theoretical physics and I would bet money against commercial nuclear fusion within the next 40 years. It's important research, but it's one hell of a long shot.
Have you read about General Fusion and their approach to fusion?
No, this does nothing for energy -generating reactors, but I agree that's interesting for future military nuclear tech.
What does the military application for the recent developments look like? More powerful bombs, somehow?
