It is so unfortunate that the scientists could not pull off this one. Many brilliant minds from all over the world have to concede after many, many years, that this is only for the future.
Many of us who dreamt that this may come true in our lifetime feel disappointed and dejected. However, it is not a totally hopeless situation.
After all the spending in various countries, you just feel that this was after all elusive.
Living near Princeton's Plasma Physics Laboratory with many friends working there and with my company interacting with the laboratory, it was but natural to feel a certain positivity about Nuclear Fusion. I was not involved but many of my colleagues worked not on the experiments but on simulations (the next best thing).
However, we have the next best thing. We can produce energy by burning hydrogen that can be created using Sunlight, light that is produced by the celestial fusion reactor. Let us be humble and hope we see better times for Nuclear Fusion.
Another fusion concept in Germany pursued from 1980s
