Big has gotten harder: Fusion power is infinitely more complicated than internal combustion, and a laptop computer inhabits a different universe from an adding machine.
Sceptics make the comment that fusion power has always been - and will always be - 50 years away - but the time horizon seems to be slightly shortening now.
We need a national commitment to develop fusion power.

In addition to clearing our last remaining scientific hurdle, we need to advance a parallel engineering agenda into key reactor technologies that will enable commercial fusion power plants to reliably deliver electricity in a highly competitive market.
If we are serious about fusion development, the president should appoint a fusion power commissioner with the authority to organize and streamline the research, development, and deployment of fusion power, especially by directing new areas of research and development within our national laboratories.
FORBES: A Challenge to America: Develop Fusion Power Within a Decade
Meanwhile, research into fusion power (in which energy is generated by fusing hydrogen atoms together at very high temperatures) has left behind a different kind of debris: a trail of experimental reactors, none of which has yet reached the break-even point where the amount of energy that comes out exceeds the amount put in.
Climate change can be addressed without recourse to generating power from fusion since there are already many alternatives to fossil-fuel power plants.
The newspapers were full of articles on solar power, fusion and converting the economy to run on fuel cells and hydrogen.
ECONOMIST: A fundamental change is coming sooner than you might think
Fusion-io is part of the Facebook and Apple megatrend (both are customers of Fusion) because they power the component flash and software.
They were appalled by the fusion of religious and political power, epitomised by the divine right of kings.
Most fusion reactions being considered for power generation create significant amounts of neutron radiation, which can cause severe amounts of harm and damage.

In short order, they could begin construction of new machines that would show how to build and operate a real power plant operated by fusion.
FORBES: A Challenge to America: Develop Fusion Power Within a Decade
First, fusion research failed to progress as quickly as expected, so there were no power stations producing streams of surplus plasma to fuel fusion-torch recyclers.
Nuclear fusion, a theoretical way of harnessing power by fusing atoms which is still under development, may one day provide a cleaner alternative to the world's energy problem.
