    I don’t think we’ll ever have infinite power. But we have nuclear fission technology right now. And they’re slowly getting towards useful fusion. The problem is making it cost-effective and safe.

      Yeah, “infinite power” is waaaaaay too much power. Unless OP refers free, uninterrupted power that covers any necessity humanity will ever need, without damaging the environment. This is infinitily less power than infinite power.

      I believe this can happen, though not in my lifetime.
