It will work when the overpaid and overfed oil billionaires run out of somebody elses oil to sell to gullible sheep of the likes 'o us. Witness the last decade or so of fruitless wrangling over where the ITER will be built, and the previous ludditism in the USA in Texas that guaranteed that the superconducting supercollider will not be built be Americans or free worlders for that matter. Most likely it will be built by the Russians or the French if we are lucky, and by the Chinese if we are not. That is OK, it was maoist agitation that generated the initial opposition to it in the USA, so it is only fitting that the victor in that struggle get the spoils.....but I hate to be on the losing end in a fight that was decided by spineless politicos 20 years ago. As far as sonofusion is concerned, I have a few ideas, but then I'd have to copyright the letter and reserve all the rights so that Bill Gates, Dick Cheney VP-USA/Prez-HalliburtonOil/CEO of Iraq or some other exec could not steal the idea and then prosecute the originator of the idea, me, for 'thinksquatting' ---thinking of an original idea and not willingly and hurriedly giving it away to some megacorporation. But wait, only the copyrights of big corps have any validity anyway, don't they. Just ask the ghost of Billie Holliday! Standing Bear
