Look up the latest info on the National Ignition facility... they have the energy available and the targets and are getting ready for fusion. They are also working on making it available to the public.... and it has only been 40 years since original proof of concept
(IMAGINE HOMER SIMPSON)
Practical power plant?? No. And a typical change of subject whenever I ask one of those touting "hot fusion" WHY cold fusion "just can't happen" despite reams of data saying that it does. WHERE are the CF experiments flawed??
But the response is always some variation on "mumble, mumble....Coulomb Barrier.....mumble, mumble".
Here's a clue for all you pseudo-scientists.....EXPERIMENT determines the validity of THEORY.....NOT the reverse.
