Easy Fusion? If you've not seen this, ask yourself why...
Dimwit posted a topic in General Tech Talk
If you've not seen this announcement (made in February), better read it, and make SURE you watch the video at the bottom of this two minute read. http://www.dvice.com/2013-2-22/lockheeds-skunk-works-promises-fusion-power-four-years THEN ask yourself why you haven't heard of it... Of course, 'Solve for X' is hardly a mainstream program aimed at mainstream viewers concerned with who is the next person being banned from 'Survivor'. That said, it should be evident to those who know what The Skunkworks really is, this is really not something they regularly work on, and announcements in public are not something they almost EVER do. In fact, that is one of the finest collections of very smart people whose job it is to find the holes and weak points in any system (mostly the kind of system that makes other things go 'BOOM'), and make sure something that could be better, is. In twenty years of working indirectly with this largely secretive and very 'black' proving ground/think tank, I have never known them to announce anything that wasn't factual, and _100%_ troubleshot. With all those specialists in that field around them, I would think they have looked at every angle of every angle. To publically announce this, they would have to be very sure of their ability to back up the technology behind it. The subtext is of course what their very nervous team-member indirectly suggests, which is that to achieve the great vision, one needs only the vision and will to fund it: The challenge is no longer technical, but political, for of course this new universe threatens the old cosmology of entrenched elites who rely on the status quo and limited, long-horizon returns on fixed energy products that currently rule the 'Now' of accountants and investors, and their political vestal virgins who auger the futures of their investments through legislation. If you want to upset the applecart, post this everywhere you go in your other travels across the internet. Ask IraFlato when he'll host a show on this subject, or send a suggestion to Stephen Colbert. I'll be changing my sigs and various other message bearers everywhere I go. ~Dimwit
