I am looking forward to the first DEMO of a fusion reactor which I think has been proposed for 2024. (I bet there will be delays but the potential for this technology could actually save mankind) I hope I am alive to see it work in a real capacity.
Waste is not nearly as bad as fission reactors and has a half life that is much shorter and can be dealt with with current technology.
IMO we could have done this already if the US made a major (moon-landing-like) commitment. But 3 mile island and wall street put the breaks on anything nuke for the last 30 years.
