Recently, I saw an article on TED about the longevity of fusion power; that we have enough Lithium ions in the ocean to serve our energy needs for thousands of years. A new type of fusion reactor was tested at MIT to see if a levitating magnet used to contain the plasma particles needed to cause the fusion worked better than one supported by beams from below. The study shows that the plasma was much easier to contain and caused much more random interaction that spurs fusion than the old model.
