The British Government have spent millions on some form of free energy research, i think it was called Fusion energy? scientist in laboratory created a mini sun or the same process as the sun which gives off free energy with no waste, and they hope to have 25 of these "power plants" by 2025, i wish i could find a video on it!
Fusion is hardly free energy. It uses the fusion of hydrogen into helium to release the energy difference between these nuclei as heat and use this heat to run a heat engine and electrical generator.
Its also not without its problems... unless we can get our hands on an exotic isotope of helium, the process will produce fast neutrons that will turn the containment vessel of the reaction intensely radioactive after the reaction was run for a while.
