you'd think, but something often not talked about is that fusion REQUIRES neutron generation.

One of the biggest issues with things like DT fusion is the fact that there isn't a lot of tritium out there. Most fusion concepts require some method of using the neutrons generated by the fusion reaction itself to create MORE tritium, usually in a blanket or salt material near the reaction. This is called breeding.
