We just might be able to put the oil barons out of business in our lifetime.

Make it even smaller so that I can have my "Mr. Fusion":

Live Ork, Be Ork. or D'Ork!

That was an interesting read certainly. But when I clicked on the link, in the back of my mind I thought it was about Mercedes Benz... God only know's why?

Still, I'm not getting my hopes up. Sounds to me like another 'Cold Fusion'. I don't think we'll see clean, limitless energy for everybody until long after I've rotted away...

's I have had a design for one of these for years now and the only thing that held me back was funding, or much rather a lack of it.

Bloody over funded yanks

It would be joyously ironic if history remembers this time not for Isis, or Ebola, or the Great Recession, but the time Mankind discovered workable fusion.

From my mouth to God's ears baby.

Agreed.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

We get promises of Fusion in five years every few years. This has been the case since the 60's

Don't get me wrong, I hope that this technology will be cracked, but I have heard too many tales of breakthroughs.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
