Answer #1

A lovely fact about fusion for those who like to ride the solar power high horse.

Fusion power commonly proposes the use of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, as fuel and in many current designs also use lithium. Assuming a fusion energy output equal to the 1995 global power output of about 100 EJ/yr (= 1 x 1020 J/yr) and that this does not increase in the future, then the known current lithium reserves would last 3000 years, lithium from sea water would last 60 million years, and a more complicated fusion process using only deuterium from sea water would have fuel for 150 billion years.[9] To put this in context, 150 billion years is over ten times the currently measured age of the universe, and is close to 30 times the remaining lifespan of the sun.[10]

Answer #2

Little known, but the beginning of practical nuclear fusion reactors was invented by Philo T. Farnsworth in the early ‘60’s But it was cheap and did not require real big business and even bigger government involvement so naturally it was put on the shelf. Check this link:

Google the Farnsworth Chronicles since my link was removed.
