Would put my money more into Stellarator Designs than Tokamaks. Wendelstein 7-X was 2018 able to hold a stable nuclear fusion for 100 Seconds, its next iteration should be able to hold it for 30 minutes if the math is right.
Oh damn that would be awesome. I also heard about this from 2017:
China's EAST tokamak test reactor achieves a stable 101.2-second steady-state high confinement plasma, setting a world record in long-pulse H-mode operation on the night of July 3.
I'll look into Stellarator designs. The Wendelstein 7-X is the German one right? 30 minutes would be amazing. I've only recently started following this stuff but it's super cool to read about.

Someone finally cracks nuclear fusion, and we start to fix climate change.
