[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;46604822]We're actually much closer to demo reactors, whether they work is another matter. A German reactor project (Wendelstein 7-X) is aiming for operational testing by next year, the reactor itself was actually finished back in May.[/QUOTE]

Estimates place functional, practical fusion about 40 years out, while Gen IV reactors might be ready in as soon as 15-20. That's not to say that fusion will be useless by then, but we'll probably be running Gen IV reactors for quite a while alongside them to deplete our waste stockpiles.
