Actually, check the following

SR III softcover p317

Shiawese maintains a fusion plant in Redmond

RA : shutdown p86

Arc has fusion plants in the basement ( floor 21 )

Fusion is alive and well in the SR Universe

I spent a while making sure the article was correct tech wise. Adam J make
me re-write it a couple of times to make doubly certain. Please check your
facts next time

Oh, yes, BTW, at the top of the article was a disclaimer saying that the
article was a re-vamp of Portland's history, not Tir Tairngire.

Yep. Fusion, on a _large_ scale, was made economically feasible during the
2020's, in SR. Fusion, on a _large_ scale, is done all the time even now...
it just costs too much (namely, it takes more energy to control the reaction
than you get out of it).

Obviously, sometime in the next twenty years or so, a minor breakthrough is
going to be made which improves the ability to control the large-scale
fusion reaction.
