“The tour came as additional details have come to light regarding another advanced fusion reactor program at Lockheed Martin, which recently obtained a patent for portions of its own design.”
Fusion reactors will blow all these other power generation sources away.
Maybe in 100 years or so. I've been following fission and fusion plant designs since my nuke engineering classes back in the 1970's. No fusion designs have been anything other than full employment programs for physicists. Fission stands a good chance, especially molten salt, if we can just get the legal barriers removed.
Practical fusion reactors are about 20 years in the future.
That's what I was told as a physics grad student.
In 1986.
