In 1953 I was told hot fusion power was but 25 years away. In 2012 I was told that it is now 30 years away.

That's after the world has poured hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars down a rathole.

1950, only 30 years away

When I was in high school, I won an essay contest sponsored by our local utility, and a trip to the "National Youth Conference on the Atom." The symposia we attended, as "promising young scientists" were series of talks by leading university professors at the time. One of them was titled "Fusion: Energy forever?" by scientists from University of Illinois and Argonne National Laboratories. It was made apparent to us then that fusion was just a few years around the corner. The year of the conference was 1962.

I heard Ford made fusion a while back.
