Personally, I believe nuclear fusion is likely to play a significant part in the future, but I don’t think the current mainstream path, that of the conventional Tokamak is the way to go from a purely economic standpoint. The Spherical Tokamak is better, but I’m really hopeful the Bussard Polywell reactor will work out, so far it’s looking pretty impressive. It’s compact, it’s cheap, and it doesn’t require exotic materials, and on paper at least it looks like it will be able to burn aneutronic fuels such as hydrogen-boron.
