Well, I got the impression the writer thinks throwing more government money at the problem represents progress. I guess for liberals that would be an acceptable definition. I didn't see any info on any real progress though. It's still 20 years in the future just like it was 20 years ago.

I agree, but fission power is available today and the waste problem could be solved by any politician worth a d*mn.

I don't know what breakthru will give fusion the bumb it needs, but it will always be a problem to contain and to siphon off the extra energy we want it for.

yeah I know. it was curious how far in the future the scientist put the completion of the projects.

there are a couple of other approaches to fusion in process right now.

don't konw which one will work best but it does seem this one is heavily freighted with bureaucracies.

You apparently missed the statement and accompanying photograph that MIT has solved the plasma turbulence problem.

The writer could use a course in predicate logic. Or not. Probably a waste of time and money.
