Mr Fusion

Mr Fusion, in back to the future.
Will that ever be feasible? (fusion. fission whichever)
What's the smallest reactor you could build?
Could you ever have a home based nuclear power genny?

Google plutonium battery.

Of course it will! We still have another 6 years to invent flying cars, hoverboards, auto tying laces and Mr Fusion.

Have some faith!

I read someone like Mitsubishi (or another Japanese industrial) sell fridge sized fission reactors designed to power blocks of flats.

As far a fusion goes, it's still early days.

A lot has happened in the last 100 years technology wise, so we might see something within our lifetimes.

So with all these "possible" alternatives.
