Here is another link to some fusion news. Mostly stuff you all have seen before, but I like that people haven't given up on fusion power yet.

I read about the Dynomak in the other current thread. It appears that for the current news cycle at least, the Dynomak is Dynomite! I feel sorry for the Lockheed skunk works. Their thunder was stolen so quickly by this new thingy. So many new fusion thingies and so much money needed and no watts of electricity yet.

Too bad new ideas abound as the government cash flow gets crimped off. There will never be a lack of interest in doing power ready fusion, or new ideas on how to do it. But the money....Therein lay the rub.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
