UCLA's Putterman said future experiments will focus on refining the technique for potential commercial uses, including designing portable neutron generators that could be used for oil well drilling or scanning luggage and cargo at airports. Thats the best use the could think for this?? If it really is working fussion what the hell would we need oil for?

These are scientists - don't expect them to be practical.
If this really works on a large scale, there will be others who find applications.
It can solve our energy problem -- of course not quite tomorrow, but soon, definitely before the oil runs out, if it does.

Thats what I was thinking. If it were/is possible. We could all have toaster sized power plants in our homes instead of a plug to the power company$.
