Fair, I thought that most of these problems had been ironed out already? That they had already started to build this plant. I guess not... :confused:
Thats nuclear fission i guess :confused:

Dude, I think that we've already mastered nuclear fission! About fifty years ago. ;)

Does anyone else think that the idea for controlling the plasma eddies sounds INCREDIBLY like the way fish streamline themselves? Small, random bumps on the outside of their scales which don't protrude past the boundary layer of the fluid moving past them, which prevent vortices (eddies) forming which would slow the fish down?

Perhaps I'm taking the analogy too far...

If they eventually get it working it should be excellent. Wont they be using a lot of energy extracting the hydrogen from water though? But then i suppose its like extracting and sorting out uranium?
