Dust this off again? Trust me. It’s always a decade away. Has been since the mid 70’s.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

True, but it can be released. That’s what happens during fission or fusion reactions.

Big deal. I perfected nuclear fusion years ago. But because I’m not related to the Obamas I cannot get a government grant.

Here I am with my latest model.
