Whatever happened to fusion?

Fusion works real well, except for a little problem with excess heat production :-)

The people at Oak Ridge did extensive research into the issue of "cold fusion"
since about 1970. Over 20 years later, they had still not licked the problem of
keeping the plasma from burning a hole in the containment chamber. I don't know
if they're still at it -- my father (who worked there) died some time back.
