“I remember the fake fission story from Popular Mechanics back in the 80’s.”

Yep, I’ll believe it when I have one running my home.

If something like this actually worked, it would probably be good for neighborhood power. A huge percentage of electrical power in the grid is lost during transmission. If we could decentralize that, and have the generation facilities located close to those who would be consuming the power, much less actual generating capacity is actually needed than the standard grid.
