NYT reports, fusion, even if not cold fusion, is still a valid dream, after all those failures over decades.
Now it's MIT pursuing the dream based on newer discoveries on superconductivity at higher temperature.
Hope they are successful one time. Though most likely it won't happen in my lifetime. :V
Anti gravity and fusion energy -- these were the dreams of the 80s we thought will be fulfilled by 2020. Didn't happen.
