scientists continue to believe it is possible, based on research done at various prototypes that started operating in the 80s.

the latest, and largest, project for a (still prototype) reactor is ITER, to be built in France, funded by a consortium of nations around the world. cost budgeted at EUR 10bn ($12bn).

i believe construction is due to start a couple years before 2010 and to last 10 years. After which the thing is supposed to last 20-25 years as a test reactor.

the goals of ITER are (1) to generate 10 times more power, than is injected into it to keep the plasma hto and controlled, (2) to keep a plasma controlled for not far from 10 minutes.

clearly these goals show that we are not yet very far advanced. The most optimistic scientists say that we could have commercial fusion power plants within 30 years, so let's say within 50 years to be safe. Problem is, back in the 50s people also were hoping for nuclear fusion within 30 years, and in the 70s also...

you can look up "ITER", or "nuclear fusion" on any good website

Yes. Yes it is possible. The current problem that everyone is facing is that it takes a great deal more energy too sustain the reaction than you get out of it. There is a ***great*** deal of research going into making fusion power generation a reality.

You can get a broad over view of it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

And here you can get some specific information about what folks are doing too get fusion power generation roling.

Hope this helps. : )

yes.it is possible.but it is a serious work.
it"s control can be done.yes there is research going on for nuclear fusion.
because ,nuclear fusion gives the more energy than the well kown nuclear fission.
this gives the atomic energy.

attempting to place the flexibility of the solar in a field then attempting to maintain it for 30 seconds is tough artwork yet particular, i think of sooner or later we can be attempting to Nuclear Fusion for all our ability desires :D.
