They've been saying that since before I was born. It's always twenty or thirty years off. Somehow the decades keep going by and it never gets any closer. I'm a huge proponent of development of new forms of energy, especially fusion or antimatter-based energy, but it'll get here when it gets here. I suspect one of those things will lead to the other anyhow. We need it if our species is ever going to get off this rock and get to a better existence.

I do hope that fusion becomes a reality, it might happen when I'm near death or dead
I've believed for awhile that we live during an era that future history will kind of gloss over as "boring." We've long since finished the first Age of Exploration and aren't quite arriving at the next, yet. Today amounts to the boring filler between the exciting bits.
