Con-Fusion?

Great news, practical, sustained, over-unity nuclear fusion reactors capable of connecting to the grid are now just a year away.

Well that's what we're being told but I'm afraid I don't believe it.

Perhaps it's because we've been regularly told since the 1970s that such things were "just a decade or two away" that my skepticsm about such a breakthrough within the next 12 months is so high.

Never the less, a crowd called Commowealth Fusion (I didn't link to their website because it seems a bit dodgy, attempting to start a file-download right on the front page) is reported as building a "tokamak called SPARC" that "is over 70 percent complete and is planned to be operating as soon as next year".

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
