Default Nuclear Fusion Power Could Be Here by 2030, One Company Says

Having successfully heated plasma to temperatures hotter than the core of the sun, UK-based Tokamak Energy is foreseeing the ability to produce commercial electricity from fusion power by 2030, over a decade earlier than former predictions. The company will now attempt to push its ST40 reactor within the operating temperatures needed for controlled nuclear fusion: over 180 million degrees F. Proponents of nuclear fusion say it could make many other types of electricity generation obsolete, by producing large amounts of electricity from relatively small amounts of the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, which are relatively abundant in ordinary seawater. "Fifty kilograms [110 lbs.] of tritium and 33 kilograms [73 lbs.] of deuterium would produce a gigawatt of electricity for a year."
