I do wonder about the tritium shortage

Fusion isn't real

California-based TAE Technologies, working with Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), have completed first tests of a hydrogen-boron fuel cycle in magnetically-confined plasma, which could generate cleaner, lower cost energy that that produced by the more common deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion process.
TAE highlighted that it had built five “national laboratory-scale” devices – with which it had generated and confined fusion plasma “more than 140,000 times” – and is currently building two further machines, dubbed Copernicus and Da Vinci, with a view to “demonstrating net energy and deliver power to the grid, respectively”.

another major milestone which somehow isn't mentioned here, bad reporting I guess or they wanted to remain specific to the H2-Boron, is that these next generation fusion reactors are generating electricity
directly from the magnetic field generated by the fusion reaction,
no steam turbines.
the old school deuterium-tritium Tokamak reactors were still in the stone ages, bleeding their energy off to heat water to power steam turbines for electricity.
