Interesting read, and I hope they are able to succeed. I've always been interested in the developments that are being made to create energy via nuclear fusion, especially when right now I work in the field of nuclear fission energy production. I'm very pro-nuclear energy, whether it be fission or fusion. But if they can master fusion energy production, than I think that will be a huge feat because in my opinion, it's a safer form of energy production, with less draw-backs than fission energy production.
Anyone here ever heard of the ITER plant out in Europe? Lots of people trying to figure fusion energy out, and that's good. The more the better, I'm excited to see if someone can figure it out and get it to work!!
