Science Magazine takes a position on the futility of fusion research

This is good news, finally somebody reveals that the emperor has no
clothes.

Fusion is vaporware, it will not happen in my lifetime, probably not
in this century.

Meanwhile, let us get on with the job of developing a true
limitless, safe and clean energy supply, Solar power Satellites.

We can deploy an SPS systen in 10 years, and become free from oil
and fossil fuels. That will save us (at least the USA) about
$200billion per year on the military costs of the war on terror,
which is really a war for energy control.

Thanks,

Cahrles R.
