I predict that (D-T) Fusion will have scientific proof of practicality in 2019, and on an economic scale where the power generation (steam plant, turbines, etc.) will significantly outweigh the cost of the Fusion reactor. I further predict that commercial Fuse-reactor designs will be drafted and installed for power generation worldwide by 2030, and will kick off a rapid, economically driven departure from fossil fuels.

The USA will be squeezed with a petrodollar collapse imminent.
