My hopes are with fusion. Specifically ITER. My research is on diagnostics/data analysis for tokamaks, working with the guys at Culham, UK (MAST and JET). They are cautiously optimistic.
When you read about fusion energy, you *can't* not be optimistic about it. At times though, it feels like its *such* a technological and *financial* hurdle, that the question is more like "Will we have mastered this technology before gas prices get so high a global recession will prevent us from ever financing the research?"
