This must be what everyone is talking about. The description of the power plant is rather nebulous. The section gets off on the wrong foot with this statement: Atomic hydrogen ordinarily has a stable electronic state that is much higher in energy than allowed by thermodynamic laws. Even if

I have not been following events at BlacklightPower. It is unclear to me which part of the web site, or which paper, reports the progress being discussed here about solid fuel. The What's New section does not describe any recent technical progress as far as I can tell. Is this the new stuff?
