        I think if this is legitimate Great, if it is tabloid filler, they
should and will be skewered alive by the scientific community.  I wonder
when they will come out with a "Mr. Fusion" for my 71 Datsun 510?  Regular
gas is getting real hard to find, and my mileage isn't what it used to be. ;)

        Seriously, though, when you hear it being knocked by "eminent"
scientists, see if that person is working for a current fusion project
or an energy company.....since their livelyhoods are at stake, their opinions
are biased (in my opinion, etc.).  I applaud them for the "outrageous" way
they released their info.  That way, if it is legitimate, enough people all
over have the basic details to check it out, and no government or industry
can squash it before it gets out, ala the 400 mpg engine.  If it is garbage,
they look like fools,  if it's not.....


        By the way, anyone know how difficult it is to get the Deuterium out
of seawater?  The process efficiency might determine how expensive fusion
could get.  I heard somewhere that a gram of D = 2400 barrels of fuel oil
if it is all fused into He and you use all the energy (WSJ article, so
no guarantee of accuracy).
