What is the future of fusion energy?

The short answer is, that discounting solar energy, which is fusion energy, but natural fusion energy, we will probably not have any fusion energy production in the next ten or twenty years. The problem with fusion energy research is that after many mammoth experiments in the 70s and 80s failed to achieve sustained fusion, and the price of oil plummeted, research funding dried up to a mere trickle. Short of a new federal initiative pumping tens of billions of dollars a year into this field, we are not likely to see a successful fusion reactor in the coming years, or possibly even decades.As for the longer term future, as global climate change concerns escalate, and the price of oil continues to rise as a result of increasing standards of living in China and India (mostly), at some point the pressure to resume fusion research will be sufficient to get significant funding approved.

Then, after many years of efforts, there will probably be a big enough break-through to allow fusion to be maintained for long enough to start getting more energy out than you're putting in from outside, which will make the reaction self-sustaining. After that it will be a relatively simple matter of perfecting the design of commercial fusion reactors. However, I don't see this happening in less than 20 years.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
