Could This Lump Power the Planet?

How is it this columnist is surprised that fusion energy programs exist? Because the media is too ill informed to even know about breakthrough technologies and would rather focus on hollywood stars who pitch windmills! Stop listening to politicians and hollywood stars for solutions to our energy problems. I was a little concerned that the scientist from the NRDF was so skeptical until I realized they're an environmentalist lobby. It's not in their political interest to find an energy solution.
