Kid 1990 was only 31 years ago. Of course It were the times when just learned to stay instead of crawling, but it is nothing so new... What if I tell you idea of Tokamak (fussion reactor) is researched from 50s or 60s of XX century ?
Yeah, 80s kid here too. Agreed, not much of this is really new. It's just been suppressed and development going at a snails' pace due to our corrupt economic system and the "rich bastards" in charge.
The problem with fusion isn't that it's hard to accomplish. It's that fusion is way too rare at normal pressures to be a net positive source of energy. Philo T Farnsworth, the same guy who invented the Cathode Ray Tube used in early TVs, also invented a cheap Fusor.
I'm sorry, "space based solar power"? How do they get the electricity back to the ground?
Microwave energy or something like that.
Or actually beaming the solar energy directly down to the surface
What's more fascinating is that the people in Silicon Valley KNEW it would be Microwave power back in the 1990s.

My father was born in late 50s.He is still alive of course, he is only few years above 60... It is just technology development.
