A clean and sustainable source of energy exists in a form of controlled nuclear _fusion_. Unlike Nuclear _fission_ (current nuclear technology) fusion works with hydrogen (deuterium and tritium isotopes) and produces no lasting radioactivity or dangerous materials. The source material is just water. Commercial use is still a decade away [1]

Iter is 5 years away at least, and is not at all designed for commercial use. The next iteration isn't either. Iter tech for fusion won't be commercialized until 2050 at the very best. Alternative to tomawak exist though, so maybe?
