... That may indeed be the impression that many hold. It is, in fact, the impression I hold as well. Nevertheless, I'm also under the impression that many may NOT adhere to such an impression. For them any "fusion" theory, in order to be taken seriously, must explain how it directly overcomes the Coulomb barrier. Granted, I admit the distinct possibility that we are in danger of descending down the slipper slope of semantics! ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
