>...Until now the only way to achieve fusion has been through nuclear weapons ...<<

I thought weapons used nuclear FISSION.


the so-called "A-Bomb" used fission ... the "H-bomb" uses fission-fusion ... a fission device is used to create the fusion reaction ...

that's why space-bound satellites look for the distinctive "double-flash" of modern weapons ... it lets them know that a fission-fusion weapon has been detonated ... some have said the fusion reaction reaches 35 million degrees, actually hotter than the *core* of the Sun ... ouch ... big ouch ...

You all know what happens next: McDonalds serves the 35 million degree cup of coffee and some lady spills it on herself and sues. All this techno stuff is just litigation looking for a place to happen!
