I've never seen a real effort to make fusion happen and I believe the issue here is that starting small may well be big (like a small elephant). If it costs say $30 billion to build a fission reactor, I don't think anyone will get it done for less than $3B a year in R&Do over ten years.

I'm talking fusion because it's something out there. And in the context of something like the metaverse.

Fission is something you can buy today at retail.

Even my poor country has a Nuclear reactor.
