Economic downturn?

What are you talking about? We still have plenty of money. :)

Let’s get real here, I’ve seen the footage and I’ve never seen two scientists coordinate a “High Five”. I’m not going to bet the rent on this one.

Physicists have been 20 years away from workable fusion power for the last 60 years.

Dr Octavios failed. So Octomom is now the point on this project.

Truth be knowm Senator/Astronaut Harrison Schmitt proposed in his book "Return to the Moon" that helium 3 is plentiful on the moon, (not available here on earth) and could fuel fusion reactors. The electricity produced would be converted to microwaves and beamed to earth where it be converted to electricity and power all of mankind!

Looks like the number and amount of TIG welds on whatever that vessel will have demanded more power than it will ever produce.

That is a lot of welding folks!

As opposed to what the naysayers may say, we are only 20 years away from fusion plants. And twenty years from now, I am comfortable that I will still be right.

Here at the National Ignition Facility in Livermore California, scientists are aiming to build the world's first sustainable fusion reactor by 'creating a miniature star on Earth'. Following a series of key experiments over the last few weeks, the £2.2 billion project has inched a little closer to its goal of igniting a workable fusion reaction by 2012.
That's the goal now. Thirty years ago the goal was also only two years away. Thanks Windflier.

Thanks Windflier. Energy too cheap to meter -- that's been the mantra for years among people who thought this feasible (via at least four different methods), still bupkis. Plus, that Spanish chick who owns the Sun will probably sue.

Harrumph! What a mass of junk
The Cold Fusion Reactor I'm building in my garage is much smaller, and cheaper.(1)

(1) Thank God for Chemistry Sets and Ace Hardware stores.

Isn't this is sort of experiment that always goes wrong and results in a first-person shooter?


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I just hope they don’t acheive success in Dec, 2012.

This great news, I thought all fusion research was dead.
