An alternative path to Fusion
Cool information -- a couple of guys up north in Canada (Burnaby, BC) are working on a Fusion Reactor that might actually scale up to usable size.
The company website is:
General Fusion
Popular Science has a
really nice in-depth article on it.
More. Faster. Now.
There are people doing science in the backwaters of our civilization, removed from the "standard routes" of academia, big corporate and the military. These people need to be funded as well -- even if 99% of the funding went down a rathole, the remaining one percent would deliver the goods with a lot less cost than the average "big science" project.
