Fusion energy, the awesome power behind the sun and stars, has long been the "holy grail" of nuclear researchers worldwide. Its proponents argue the vast potential for cheap, clean energy from hydrogen isotopes extracted from sea water without the long term radioactive waste associated with nuclear fission. While great strides have been made over the past few decades, the high cost of research and expensive hardware limits most of the progress. Over 2,000 companies are currently active in the nuclear fusion energy field, including some of the world's largest corporations such as Boeing. Governments and corporations worldwide have ploughed over $60 billion into the nuclear fusion and radioactive waste problem in 2006 alone.
