Yes, and we don't even need to use uranium, and it doesn't need to be as dangerous. Fusion is mainly a problem of scaling the system up now I believe, there are a few possible fuels depending on the method if I recall correctly.


Unfortunately we are not even close to getting control of fusion just like fission. And for fission, we can hardly tell whether it brings more benefit than harm as the radioactive wastes take so long to neutralize.


Source? I've heard the opposite, I'm not an expert but I do believe fusion is pretty imminent. Maybe not at MIT.

We can achieve fusion already, so presumably we already have control of it? Check out lppfusion. https://lppfusion.com/technology/focus-fusion/

I think if we discarded the failed attempts we could consolidate something here.

Seems to be happening https://lppfusion.com/international-focus-fusion-research/
